The Rainmaker

Francis Ford Coppola directed this moving and realistic adaptation of John Grisham's novel about an idealistic young attorney who takes on the case of a lifetime and discovers how the corporate world operates.

Matt Damon is brilliant in the role of Rudy Baylor, an idealistic, freshly-minted attorney in over his head on what becomes a high-profile case. Opposing him are an army of seasoned legal sharks led by Jon Voight. On Rudy's side is Danny DeVito, a feisty "paralawyer" who specializes in flunking the bar exam. Rudy uncovers a trail of corruption that might lead to the one thing that could win his case, a terrified witness.
