Starring George Clooney, Tom Wilkinson, Sydney Pollack, and Tilda Swinton
Directed by Tony Gilroy

George Clooney plays the title character, a slick attorney working for a prestigious New York law firm. Dubbed the ‘fixer’, his job is to clean up legal crises and protect the company’s well-heeled clients from bad press or litigation.

When one of the firm’s senior partners suffers a breakdown and threatens to expose the illegal activities of an important corporate client, Clayton is brought in to take care of the lawyer and nurse him back to shape. Over four eventful days, Clayton is presented with moral dilemmas and is forced to confront his own weaknesses and question his own ethics.  

“It's a rare film that can challenge our minds and rattle our nerves so profoundly…A deftly written, tautly suspenseful and intellectually demanding morality tale.” – Claudia Puig, USA Today
