A Civil Action (1998) follows Jan Schlichtmann, a relentless attorney, who is approached by a coalition of families. Upon delving into what appears to be a low-stakes case, he uncovers a significant environmental crisis with far-reaching implications. A tannery is suspected of causing multiple fatal cases of leukemia, yet it is also the region's primary employer. Schlichtmann, along with his three associates, aims to compel the company to clean up the contaminated sites and secure substantial compensation for the victims. However, the legal team representing the tannery's parent corporation proves to be a formidable adversary, leading Schlichtmann and his team into a grueling fight for their professional and personal survival.
