Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house "fixer" at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. Clayton cleans up clients' messes, handling anything from hit-and-runs and damaging stories in the press to shoplifting wives and crooked politicians. When the firm's top litigator has an apparent breakdown and tries to sabotage an important case, Clayton is sent to tackle this unprecedented disaster, and in doing so, comes face to face with the reality of what he has become. Featuring three Oscar-nominated performances, with Tilda Swinton taking home the award for her Best Supporting Actress role as the lawyer representing an environmentally-toxic company. "It's better than good; it's such a crackling and mature and accomplished movie that it just about restores your faith." (Entertainment Weekly) More at michaelclayton.warnerbros.com 35mm Cinemascope
