In this moving story based on true events, we follow a Boston lawyer, played by John Travolta, who immerses himself in a legal battle that pushes him to his limits. At first, it seems like a common case: several families in a small town have developed serious illnesses, and the evidence points to a local chemical company that has been dumping toxic waste into their community. However, what begins as a simple professional challenge turns into an emotional and moral whirlwind as the lawyer starts to learn about the victims and their painful stories.
As he delves into the dark world of corporations and their unchecked ambitions, the fight for justice becomes exhausting. Travolta's character must confront not only the pressure from the industry but also the complexities of the legal system, which seems determined to protect the powerful rather than the vulnerable. Months of preparation, evidence gathering, and uncertainty also test his own morality and that of his team.
With memorable performances and outstanding direction, the film reveals the harsh reality of how money and power can often silence the truth. Through ethical dilemmas and difficult decisions, the lawyer will discover that the true battle is not only in the courts but also in the fight for what is right. With each step, he faces the question: Is it worth risking everything for justice?
