Michael Clayton

Attorney Michael Clayton (Clooney) is a fixer: the go-to guy when his powerful New York law firm needs a mess cleaned up. But when the firm’s top litigator in a three-billion-dollar case goes from hawkish advocate to righteous whistleblower, Michael finds himself face-to-face with a full-blown crisis that reveals how far a corporation will go to keep the money flowing. Director Tony Gilroy’s 2007 drama was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and earned Tilda Swinton a Best Actress win for her role as an unravelling corporate attorney.
