Vergiftete Wahrheit

Robert Bilott ist seit kurzem Partner in einer renommierten Anwaltskanzlei in Cincinnati. Nachdem er von zwei Landwirten aus West Virginia kontaktiert wurde, die glauben, dass das örtliche DuPont-Werk giftige Abfälle auf der Mülldeponie ablädt, das ihre Felder zerstört und ihr Vieh vergiftet, gerät er in einen Konflikt. In der Hoffnung, die Wahrheit über die Geschehnisse zu erfahren, reicht Bilott mithilfe seines leitenden Partners der Firma, Tom Terp, eine Beschwerde ein, die den Beginn eines epischen 15-jährigen Kampfes markiert. Ein Kampf, der nicht nur seine Beziehung zu seiner Frau Sarah, sondern auch seinen Ruf, seine Gesundheit und seinen Lebensunterhalt auf die Probe stellt.
