Mitch McDeere is a hot prospect. About to graduate from Harvard Law, he is courted by the top firms in the country. And Bendini, Lambert & Locke from Memphis. Their bountiful offer lures Mitch and his wife Abby from Beantown to the birthplace of rock 'n' roll. A new home, a new car and paid off student loans quickly lose their luster as Mitch discovers the firm's shady dealings. He reluctantly teams up with the FBI to bring the firm down and save himself.
Marc Cohn may go walking in Memphis, but Tom Cruise goes running through it for half of Sydney Pollack's nail biting thriller. The Firm is the first of nine John Grisham novels to be adapted for the big screen. The Pelican Brief (1993) quickly followed suit later the same year, with The Client (1994) debuting the following summer. The Firm was a commercial success, and to date, the largest grossing film based on a John Grisham novel. Holly Hunter rightfully deserved her Academy Award nomination. There are some differences in the film vs. the book, which some critics objected to ;-)
