DESCRIPTION:
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.

-
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.
