An ambitious young lawyer employed by a prestigious legal firm discovers the truth behind its success - corruption and murder - which then endangers his own life.
So when Bandini Lambert and Locke, a small Memphis law firm, offer him a huge salary, a house, a car and, most importantly, a sense of family, he moves his life, and his wife, Abby (Jeanne Tripplehorn, who looks oddly similar to Katherine Heigl in this film) to the south.
What's fun about The Firm is, most of all, the slimy mentor played by Gene Hackman.
Fans of this movie may also enjoy other John Grisham-penned film adaptations, including The Pelican Brief and The Client.
