1998, West Virginia. A farmer accuses the chemical manufacturing corporation DuPont of being responsible for the death of his cows. Despite a conflict of interest, successful corporate defense attorney Rob Bilott takes the case and uncovers a massive ecological scandal, risking his life and career.

Anchored by a selfless performance from Mark Ruffalo, Todd Haynes’s real-life drama plays with the tropes of the conspiracy thriller to entertaining yet devastating effect. A rollercoaster of emotions, this procedural stays close to the victims at the heart of its story of industrial malpractice.
