The rainmaker

Summary: "Now, for the first time, Paramount Home Entertainment presents this Special Collector's Edition release packed with special features, including commentary by five-time Academy Award winner Francis Ford Coppola and co-star Danny DeVito, several deleted scenes and much more. Based on John Grisham's thrilling best-seller, this riveting courtroom drama is Coppola's 'best and sharpest film in years.' Matt Damon turns in an exhilarating performance as Rudy Baylor, a rookie lawyer in over his head on a high-profile case. Opposing him is an army of seasoned legal sharks led by Jon Voight. On Rudy's side is Deck Shifflet (DeVito), a feisty 'paralawyer' who specializes in flunking the bar exam. Rudy's chances are slim to none - until he uncovers a trail of corruption and deceit that might lead him to the one thing that could win the case...the truth."--Container.
