Summary
Erin Brockovich, a brash former beauty queen and single mom, talks her way into a low-level job at a small L.A. law firm and begins investigating mysterious illnesses. Feisty, twice-divorced and unemployed, she convinces attorney Ed Masry to hire her as an office assistant, and promptly stumbles upon a monumental law case against a giant corporation. Erin's determined to take on this powerful adversary, even though no law firm has dared to do it before. The two begin an incredible, and sometimes hilarious, fight that will bring a small town to its feet and a huge company to its knees
