Question

Watch the movie A Civil Action (starring John Travolta). Write a 2-3 paragraph summary of the movie and connect it to class concepts from chapters of tort law and strict liability

The answer can be lengthy with details, please.

Answer 1

In this movie , we realize that Grisham's lawyers are ronanticised hotshots living in a cowboy universe with John Wayne values .

The real world of law , this movie argues has less to do with justice than with strategyand doesn't necessarily arrive at truth.

Law is about who wins , not about who should win.

At issue are deaths by leukemia of 12 children .

Travolta's argument was that death was result of pollution by two large corporations , WR grace and Beatrice.

Duvall , working for Beatrice , argues that neither pollution nor its results can be proven .

He also angles to separate beatrice from bedmate.

Grace, correctly perceiving that Grace legal strategy is unpromising.
