Rudy Baylor is a law graduate in Memphis. After graduating from law school, he is still a poor boy, and he wants to make achievements in this long-awaited field. However, what he encountered was the vicious competition in the industry. As a result, he could only rely on his three-inch tongue to roam outside and stay in his car at night. Under the introduction of a friend, he came to work at Stone Law Firm.
Rudy’s partner, Dirk, is a fake lawyer who has never passed the legal qualification exam, but he is very experienced. Out of livelihood considerations, he often took Rudy to the hospital to defraud the person lying in the bed to sign the lawyer's power of attorney. But the good times didn't last long. Attorney Stone was accused of using illegal methods, and the law firm was also closed. So Rudy and Dirk decided to open an office of their own. Rudy has two cases in his hands, one is that an old lady asked him to amend his will. The old woman hopes to leave all her millions of property to a TV personality, but after investigation, she only has $40,000 in property. The old woman trusted Rudy very much and rented him the extra house in the family. In another case, Mrs. Black bought insurance for his son Downey, but when Downey got leukemia and needed money for surgery, the insurance company found various excuses not to pay for the patient’s medical expenses, which made Downey unable to pay. Received a bone marrow transplant in critical condition. In the face of defense lawyers hired by insurance companies with high salaries, Rudy launched a tit-for-tat struggle.
Rudy, who was inexperienced, looked embarrassed, but the lawyer on the other side tried all kinds of methods, including wiretapping, to prevent him from obtaining evidence; and the experienced Dirk all resolved the difficulties one by one. However, the personal and material evidence they had worked so hard to find was framed by the opposing lawyer as stolen. So Dirk went out to find Stone, and got Stone's guidance. In the end, the two turned defeat into victory, and the insurance company was sentenced to pay Mrs. Black a punitive damages of US$50 million. Although the insurance company filed for bankruptcy and Mrs. Black did not get the money, Rudy has a reputation in the industry   .

    "Four and a half stars" The best film in the Taizhou Hilton film library. The film has a relatively comprehensive and true presentation of the law and the lawyer industry, and introduces the American characteristics of "punitive damages" and "risk lawyers" in a simple and simple way. Some people criticize the main theme, but in fact the protagonist has clearly realized his future: crossing the limit several times will no longer exist, and he is likely to become his second opponent. To be honest, the feeling that this remark brings to me is whether it is too pessimistic, as if you will never be able to protect your justice, and whether you can stick to it depends on the environment and destiny, not yourself. The domestic violence female paragraph itself is okay, explaining the good and evil of people (the protagonist is awe-inspiring in court scenes, but in private can easily cross the boundaries to kill and show the ferociousness, escape) is vague, easy to transform, assists the theme, but the emotional drama adds Very blunt.

The Rainmaker quotes

  • Judge Kipler: Mr. Drummond... you objected to the fast-tracking of this case. What's the problem?

    Leo F. Drummond: Well, your honor... this issue's already been ruled upon by Judge Hale. The preparations required by fast-tracking the case place undue burden upon both parties, I believe.

    Judge Kipler: [scribbling on a notepad and not looking up] Nonsense.

    [stands up]

    Judge Kipler: Let me ask you something, Mr. Drummond. As a defense lawyer, have your EVER agreed to the fast-tracking of a lawsuit?

    Leo F. Drummond: Well your honor, I believe I have.

    Judge Kipler: [begins to laugh as he sits back down] Fine. Give me the name of the case and the court it was in.

    Leo F. Drummond: [laughs nervously] Well, your honor... I have to get back to you on that.

    Judge Kipler: Well, call me this afternoon by three.

    Leo F. Drummond: I don't believe I'm going to be in before three.

    Judge Kipler: Well, call me when you get in. I'm very interested in hearing about this case you agreed to fast-track.

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes sir.

    Judge Kipler: This boy's about to die, gentlemen. You do agree that we need to record his testimony?

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes indeed... of course, your honor. It's just that my trial calendar is pushin' me around pretty good.

    Judge Kipler: How about next Thursday afternoon?

    Rudy Baylor: Great for me, your honor.

    Leo F. Drummond: I'm sorry, your honor.

    Judge Kipler: That's a week from today.

    Leo F. Drummond: I believe I'm out of town.

    [beat]

    Leo F. Drummond: Yes, I am out of town Thursday.

    Judge Kipler: The deposition is set for next Thursday afternoon at 2pm.

    [smiles]

    Judge Kipler: Sorry if it inconveniences the defense, but God knows there's enough of you guys to handle it.

    [Rudy smiles]

  • Kelly Riker: [Cliff has just trashed the house and buried Rudy under a refrigerator... Kelly rushes to Cliff] RUDY... RUDY! Cliff, you idiot! What are you doing!

    Cliff Riker: [grabbing Kelly around the throat] You see what you did! Kelly, you see what you did? It's not my fault! I love you... I love you!

    [Rudy gets back up and yanks Cliff by the air and off Kelly and they resume fighting... Cliff pulls out a gun, Rudy grabs a baseball bat and hits Cliff with it]

    Kelly Riker: RUDY!

    [he hits Cliff some more with the bat]

    Kelly Riker: Stop it, Rudy! Stop.

    [Cliff groans]

    Kelly Riker: Give me the bat... and leave.

    Rudy Baylor: [dumbfounded] What?

    Kelly Riker: Give me the bat... and leave. You were not here tonight. Give me the bat.

    [Rudy complies and Kelly finishes Cliff off after Rudy walks out]
