Michael Clayton is an in-house "fixer" at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton takes care of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen's dirtiest work at the behest of the firm's co-founder Marty Bach. Though burned out and hardly content with his job as a fixer, his divorce, a failed business venture and mounting debt have left Clayton inextricably tied to the firm. At U/North, meanwhile, the career of litigator Karen Crowder rests on the multi-million dollar settlement of a class action suit that Clayton's firm is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion. But when Kenner Bach's brilliant and guilt-ridden attorney Arthur Edens sabotages the U/North case, Clayton faces the biggest challenge of his career and his life.
Barry Pepper stars as suave psychopath Tom Ripley, now at the forefront of a forgery ring that produces art attributed to a dead painter who the world believes is still alive. When an aficionado (Willem Dafoe) discovers some of the forgeries and threatens to expose the ring, Ripley stages a news conference disguised as the dead painter to prove that the art is real. The man is still unconvinced, so Ripley invites him to his estate and murders him. Things take a complicated turn for Ripley when the police—led by a detective named Webster (Tom Wilkinson)—come to him, thinking he's the painter, in the search for the missing man.
