Julia Roberts plays the real-life title character in Erin Brockovich. Brockovich is a feisty divorced mother working as a paralegal at a personal injury law firm. She uncovers the chromium poisoning of a small town by a power company, which led to the largest winning personal injury lawsuits, setting a precedent for environmental litigation. Veteran actor Albert Finney turns in a winning performance as her boss. The early March release for Universal's Erin Brockovich has not hurt its chances, as well as that of its director, Steven Soderbergh, who's next film Traffic is also under Oscar consideration.
