Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe much-anticipated bathroom scene in this movie, where Rohr (Dustin Hoffman) confronts Fitch (Gene Hackman) is the first dialogue in a movie between Hoffman and Hackman. It was written while the rest of the movie was being filmed, after someone on the crew found out that the two, though they had been friends since 1956, had never starred in a movie together. It was finally shot on a single day at the end, several weeks after Hackman and Hoffman had finished their other work.
- GoofsAfter the anti-gun juror goes on his tirade, Nick Easter makes a joke. In reality, a tirade like that could actually force the judge to dismiss the entire prospective pool, because the pool would then be considered tainted since they witnessed the tirade.
- Quotes
Rankin Fitch: You think your average juror is King Solomon? No, he's a roofer with a mortgage. He wants to go home and sit in his Barcalounger and let the cable TV wash over him. And this man doesn't give a single, solitary droplet of shit about truth, justice or your American way.

Featured review
great cast
Based on a John Grisham novel, Wendell Rohr (Dustin Hoffman) is a torts lawyer suing a gun manufacturer. Opposing his is lawyer Durwood Cable (Bruce Davison), but his real opposition may just be the jury consultant Rankin Fitch (Gene Hackman). Add to the mix, a mysterious juror Nicholas Easter (John Cusack) and his girlfriend Marlee (Rachel Weisz).
The gun case just doesn't fit anymore. It probably fit for the time of the novel. The case against the gun company needs to be much stronger. However, the jury tampering stuff is great. It has great insights that is now standard elements in every courtroom movie. And then there is the bathroom scene with Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman. One must always appreciate when legends collide.
