What is The Pelican Brief about? Toggle content

The Pelican Brief is a thriller movie that follows the story of Darby Shaw, a young law student who writes a legal brief that outlines her theory on the murder of two Supreme Court justices. Her brief suggests that the killings were orchestrated by an oil tycoon who wants to drill for oil in a Louisiana marshland, and that the murders were intended to influence the appointment of new justices who would favor oil and gas exploitation over environmental issues. When her brief gains attention, Darby becomes the target of assassins and must go into hiding. She teams up with Washington Herald reporter Gray Grantham to uncover the truth behind the murders and expose the conspiracy. The movie stars Julia Roberts as Darby Shaw and Denzel Washington as Gray Grantham, and was released in 1993.
