Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house "fixer" at one of the largest corporate law firms 
in New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton takes care of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen's dirtiest 
work at the behest of the firm's co-founder Marty Bach (Sydney Pollack). Though burned out and 
hardly content with his job as a fixer, his divorce, a failed business venture and mounting debt 
have left Clayton inextricably tied to the firm. At U/North, meanwhile, the career of litigator 
Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton) rests on the multi-million dollar settlement of a class action suit 
that Clayton's firm is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion. But when Kenner Bach's 
brilliant and guilt-ridden attorney Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) sabotages the U/North case, 
Clayton faces the biggest challenge of his career and his life.

==========

Whether behind the camera or in front of it, George Clooney has proven himself to be one of 
Hollywood's most reliable talents. MICHAEL CLAYTON covers four pivotal days in the life of a 
corporate lawyer (Clooney), in which a midlife crisis and a crisis of conscience neatly converge 
when he is called in to "fix" a situation unfolding in one of his firm's hottest cases. In the 
director's seat for GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK, Clooney tells the story of acclaimed CBS journalist 
Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn) and his decision to stand up against fiery Senator 
Joseph McCarthy. Please see individual titles for detailed synopsis information.
