The Pelican Brief
1993
**½
Director: Alan J. Pakula
Cast: Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington, Sam Shepard, John Heard
A law student writes a brief that seems to hit a nerve, and she's forced to go underground. (She does, however, seem to have a massive wardrobe while on the run.) This is a run-of-the-mill adaptation of John Grisham's novel.
