When his upscale job opportunity crumbles under the weight of a corporate merger, rookie attorney Rudy Baylor finds himself working for a ruthless ambulance chaser. To earn his keep, Rudy must solicit clients at the local hospital. He soon enlists the parents of a terminally ill leukemia patient struggling with insurance claims only to find himself up against the same firm that destroyed his earlier career aspirations.
A young Matt Damon starred as Rudy Baylor in the 1997 film version. Jon Voight, Mickey Rourke, and Danny DeVito rounded out an exceptional cast led by director Francis Ford Coppola.
