Michael Clayton

MICHAEL CLAYTON

Attorney Michael Clayton is a “fixer,” the go-to-guy when his powerful New York law firm wants a mess swept under the rug. But now he’s handed a crisis even he may not be able to fix.

The firm’s top litigator in a $3-billion case has gone from advocate to whistleblower. And the more Michael tries to undo the damage, the more he’s up against forces that put corporate survival over human life—including Michael’s.

Craig Alan and Mark Woodring (@VSMoviePodcast on twitter) talk about corporate greed, movies coming back, the greatness of Sydney Pollock and the movie “Michael Clayton” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
