Matt Damon plays Rudy Baylor, a rookie lawyer in over his head on a high-profile case. Opposing him: an army of seasonal legal sharks (led by Jon Voight). On Rudy's side: Deck Shifflet (Danny DeVito), a feisty “paralawyer” who specialises in flunking the bar exam. Rudy's chances are slim to none – until he uncovers a trail of corruption that might lead to one thing that could win his case: the truth.
