Erin Brockovich (2000)
She brought a small town to its feet and a huge company to its knees.
A twice-divorced mother of three who sees an injustice, takes on the bad guy and wins -- with a little help from her push-up bra. Erin goes to work for an attorney and comes across medical records describing illnesses clustered in one nearby town. She starts investigating and soon exposes a monumental cover-up.

What kind of watch this is
Steven Soderbergh directed this 131-minute drama. Julia Roberts plays Erin, a twice-divorced mother of three who stumbles upon medical records linking local illnesses to corporate negligence. The film leans into her chaotic energy, finding a strange dignity in her push-up bra and her refusal to quit. It is less about the legal victory and more about the sheer, stubborn friction of a disorganized person grinding against a well-oiled machine. The tagline says she brought a huge company to its knees. In practice, she just made it very tired.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes reports an 85% approval rating as of January 2026. Metacritic assigns a 73/100 Metascore from 37 critics, which lands in the generally favorable territory. The consensus notes the film leans on Julia Roberts’s talent to overcome some plot issues. David Ansen of Newsweek called Roberts “flat-out terrific.” Andrew Sarris of The New York Observer argued the film makes 2000 seem promising for movies.
What came next for the cast
Julia Roberts moved from Pretty Woman and Notting Hill to Ocean's Eleven and Wonder. The credits shift, but they do not prove causation. Albert Finney went from Miller's Crossing to Skyfall and Big Fish. Aaron Eckhart jumped from Any Given Sunday to The Dark Knight and Sully. Marg Helgenberger stepped from Bad Boys to Under the Dome. Four distinct trajectories, one shared 2000 starting point.
