WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Three time Oscar nominee Tom Cruise delivers the most electrifying performance of his career in this riveting film based on the international best-seller.
    Cruise plays Mitch McDeere, a brilliant and ambitious Harvard Law grad. Driven by a fierce desire to bury his working-class past, Mitch joins a small firm that affords Mitch and his wife (Jeanne Tripplehorn) an affluent lifestyle beyond their wildest dreams. But when FBI agents confront him with evidence of corruption and murder within the firm, Mitch sets out to find the truth in a deadly crossfire between the FBI, the Mob, and a force that will stop at nothing to protect its interest - The Firm.
    Directed by Oscar winner Sydney Pollack and starring Oscar winner Gene Hackman plus a magnificent supporting cast, The Firm makes its case as the must-see movie of the year.

THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• Gene Hackman's name does not appear on any promotional material including commercials, posters, nor in the credits on the back of the box, this is because in his contract it is stated that he was to have his name listed before the title of the movie, however, Tom Cruise had a contract stating that only his name would appear. Hackman decided to pull his name from everything and as a result his starring role in the movie surprised many people who were completely unaware that he was in the movie when they saw it.
• The interior scenes of the Peabody Hotel were not filmed in the actual hotel, they were filmed in a private apartment in the vicinity. The producers paid the man who owned the place to let them remove his belongings and film there saying that his apartment had a better view than the hotel did. Ironically they put the man up in the Peabody for the duration of the shoot.
• Tom Cruise was given the Mercedes he drives in this movie as a present when the filming wrapped.
