IMDb Movie of the Day
When it was announced in 1999 that Julia Roberts would be getting $20 million for her next movie, Erin Brockovich, the question wasn't so much was the pretty woman worth the high paycheck as it was, "What the hell is an Erin Brockovich?" To the residents of Hinkley, California, though, Ms. Brockovich was nothing less than a savior and a legal whirlwind, having taken on the conglomerate of Pacific Gas & Electric after suspicions arose that the utility had poisoned the town's water supply with toxic chromium. Crusading with fierce determination, the young woman brought about one of the biggest class lawsuits in American history, and won it – not too shabby for an unemployed single mother who had never even laid eyes on a law school. While the true story was definitely film-worthy, what got the project industry attention was the pairing of America's sweetheart with America's art-house poster boy, Steven Soderbergh, a director who hadn't yet lived up to the hit status promised by sex, lies and videotape. What many thought was an unholy alliance turned out to be a marriage made in heaven, as the resulting movie was a star vehicle with lots of power, intelligence and box office stamina (it grossed $126 million). Ably supported by both Albert Finney and a Wonderbra, Roberts gave a career-best performance and finally nabbed an Academy Award. Soderbergh didn't fare too badly at the Oscars either – he became the first director in sixty years to receive dual Best Director nominations, winning for his other movie that year, Traffic. - Mark Englehart (more) (Movie of the Day Archive)
