A Civil Action

Justice has its price.

A cerebral legal drama about ambition and obsession that explores the moral cost of pursuing justice, where a lawyer's personal drive threatens to undermine the very cause he claims to champion.

Jan Schlickmann is a cynical lawyer who goes out to 'get rid of' a case, only to find out it is potentially worth millions. The case becomes his obsession, to the extent that he is willing to give up everything—including his career and his clients' goals—in order to continue the case against all odds.
