Movie Description
A father and daughter, both attorneys, are on opposite sides in the courtroom. He's on the prosecuting side and she's for the defense. As father and daughter they become divided, and as attorneys, endangered by the truth.
Synopsis
Jedediah Tucker Ward is an esteemed trial attorney who has built his reputation defending the underdog against the huge, impenetrable corporate power structure. His daughter Maggie, also a lawyer, has more conventional aims -- namely becoming a partner in San Francisco's largest corporate law firm.
Jedediah believes that his daughter is selling out by working as a corporate attorney, but Maggie sees her father's defense of the "common man" as an excuse for self-aggrandizement on the job and negligence at home. The festering antagonism between the two comes to a head when they meet in the courtroom for a class action suit against an American auto manufacturer, where Maggie represents the car company and Jedediah represents the people.
Industry Reviews
"...CLASS ACTION is good, chewy entertainment....Under Michael Apted's warm and meticulous direction, Hackman and Mastrantonio give beautifully matched performances..."
