Overview

Michael Clayton is the man powerful people call when their problems refuse to stay quiet. A veteran fixer at a high-powered Manhattan law firm, he operates in the grey space between law and damage control. When a brilliant colleague suffers a moral collapse mid-trial, exposing a corporate giant's lethal secrets, Clayton is sent to clean it up. What he finds instead is a conspiracy that forces him to decide who he actually is when no one is watching.
