Andrew and Joe are two young lawyers in Philadelphia. They work hard and both have a bright future. Andrew is a homosexual and contracted AIDS, but he did not tell his boss these things. Soon after Andrew was promoted, the boss discovered his secret and fired him on the grounds that Andrew lost his documents. Andrew finds Joe and wants him to accept the case. Joe originally refused to accept the case, but agreed under the scolding of his wife Louise.
Andrew's family supported him to go to court. During the trial, many demonstrators gathered outside the court, demanding that homosexuals be given legal rights and not to discriminate against people with AIDS. But the defendant insisted not to admit that Andrew was fired because of AIDS. Andrew's weak body can no longer withstand the violent intravenous injection, but he still survived the fierce court defense. On the day of the trial, the jury finally pronounced that the plaintiff Andrew was unfairly dismissed, and the defendant should be responsible for the damages. Andrew finally won. Joe rushed to the hospital to tell Andrew and his family the news, but Andrew could no longer support him, he was slowly dying.

    Even I don't like this theme, but the acting is great for both of them

    The court part takes up almost half of the film, but the tension is still not enough. On the contrary, the scenes outside the court are very well shot. The opera is extremely shocking, and the video ends with a meaningful ending. The thin version of Hanks is so handsome.
