Based on the true story of a twice-divorced mother working as a low-level secretary at a Los
Angeles law firm, a chronicle of a woman, without a law degree, who takes it upon herself to
fight powerful corporate forces. Hired out of sympathy after her lawyer lost her personal injury
suit, Brockovich stumbled upon the cover-up involving contaminated water in a small desert
community, while working at the small law firm. Brockovich tracks a case of water poisoning
created by PG&E (Pacific Gas & Electric) and champions it all the way up the judicial ladder--
becoming instrumental in rallying the over 600 plaintiffs and in helping them win the largest
class-action suit of its type.
