Movie Matinee - The Pelican Brief

This week's Senior Center movie matinee is The Pelican Brief.

Tulane University law student Darby Shaw writes up an insightful theory about the recent murder of two Supreme Court justices, one of whom, Abraham Rosenberg, served as her professor, Thomas Callahan's mentor.

When Callahan shares this so-called "Pelican Brief" with his buddy, an FBI lawyer, the document makes its way to White House flack Fletcher Coal, who believes it could topple the current administration.

When Callahan is murdered and the President convinces the FBI to hold off on investigating Darby's theory, the resourceful student must go into hiding, stalked by relentless assassin Khamel.

Her only hope of escaping Callahan's fate and proving her theory lies in Washington investigative reporter Gray Grantham, who's already had one confidential source back out of sharing information about the assassinations.

Starring Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington, Stanley Tucci and Sam Shepard.
