Pelican Brief
Academy Award winners Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington headline and Alan J. Pakula directs this first-rate thriller based on the John Grisham bestseller.
Two Supreme Court justices have been murdered and a lone law student (Roberts) turns her suspicions about the deaths into a speculative brief that sends shock waves into the highest levels of government. She and a determined investigative reported (Washington) want to tell the world what they have uncovered – if they can live to tell it. The race is on and these two are more than runners. They’re moving targets.
