Michael Clayton

The screenwriter Tony Gilroy, most recently of the Bourne series, directs his first feature, the story of a problem-solver for a New York law firm (George Clooney) who runs into one problem -- that of a senior partner (Tom Wilkinson) in the grip of a moral crisis -- that may lie beyond his powers. Tilda Swinton and Sydney Pollack co-star. “Tightly plotted, expertly acted, Michael Clayton is a challenging, satisfying corporate thriller.” (Film Journal Int’l)

Nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Director, Actor, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress and Original Screenplay.
