Plot summary

The hill Clayton climbs to look at the horses.

Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an attorney and gambling addict employed by a prestigious law firm in New York City as a "fixer", someone who rectifies difficult situations, often through unconventional or expedient methods. Clayton leaves an underground poker game late at night and takes a call from a partner at the firm, who informs him to meet with a key client who has struck a pedestrian with his car. After the meeting, Clayton pulls off to the side of the road as he is driving away. He climbs a hill to look at some horses, and while observing them, Clayton's car explodes. George Timothy Clooney (born May 6, 1961) is an American actor, director, producer and screenwriter who gained fame as one of the lead doctors in the long-running television drama, ER (1994–99), as Anthony Edwardss best friend and partner, Dr. Douglas Doug Ross, but is best known for...

The story flashes back to four days earlier. Clayton has just received news that he owes $75,000 to organized crime figures due to a failed attempt to open a bar with his brother Timmy (David Lansbury). Then he is called and told that one of the firm's leading attorneys, Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson), has suffered a mental breakdown. In the middle of a crucial deposition involving a class action lawsuit against the firm's largest client, U-North, an agricultural products conglomerate, Edens began rambling incoherently and stripped naked. Dispatched to fix the situation, Clayton gets Edens out of jail in Milwaukee and learns that his friend, who had a mental breakdown in the past, is no longer taking his medication. Before Clayton can escort Edens back to New York City to receive medical care, Edens flees and returns to New York on his own. Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton), U-North's chief counsel, takes Edens's briefcase from the deposition room and discovers that Edens had obtained an internal U-North memorandum documenting the company's culpability for manufacturing a cancer-causing herbicide. When Crowder learns that Edens refuses to cooperate and cannot easily be committed to a mental health institution, she decides to hire two operatives (Robert Prescott, Terry Serpico) to follow Edens, including tapping his phone and installing bugs in his apartment. This surveillance and the firm's review of documents in Edens's office reveals that Edens was building a case against U-North, his own client. Crowder instructs the two spies to murder Edens; their methods fool the police into believing it was a suicide. This article is about the English actor. ...

Clayton is distraught at the death of his friend, but becomes suspicious when he learns both that U-North was planning to settle and that Edens had purchased a plane ticket to New York for one of the class action plaintiffs, Anna (Merritt Wever). With the passive assistance of his other brother (Sean Cullen), a NYPD police detective, Clayton breaks into Edens's apartment and finds a receipt for a large copy store order. At the store he discovers that Edens had assembled documents incriminating U-North, and had ordered thousands of copies. Clayton takes a copy and leaves, but the two hit men are now tailing him and, having secured a copy of the documents, they inform Crowder of the latest developments. While Clayton plays poker (returning to the opening scene of the movie), one of the hit men rigs his car with a bomb. Clayton leaves the game earlier than expected, interrupting the hit man's re-installation of the vehicle tracking system, causing it to emit an inconsistent signal. Clayton drives to Westchester County to meet with the client who committed the hit-and-run. He is followed by the two hit men, but they have trouble tracking him. Knowing that he is nearby, but not his exact location, the hit men detonate the bomb.

Clayton is unharmed and runs back to the car and throws his phone, wallet, and watch into the fire. Later, at a U-North board of directors meeting, Crowder proposes that the settlement agreement be approved. When she steps out of the conference room to allow the directors to confer, Clayton is waiting for her. He tells her he has access to copies of the U-North memo and that he knows she was responsible for Eden's death and the attempt on his own life. He demands to be paid off for his silence, asking for $10 million. Crowder agrees. Clayton then reveals the phone in his pocket recording the conversation and walks away as police officers approach; his brother, the NYPD detective, had been covertly listening to the entire conversation. As Crowder and the U-North Chair (Ken Howard) are arrested, Clayton leaves the building and gets into a taxi. He gives the driver $50 and tells him to "just drive". After a bit, a smile appears on his face. Chairman of the Board redirects here. ... For other uses of settlement, including legal uses, see Settlement. ...
