Synopsis

The Firm (1993) is Sydney Pollack's legal thriller — watch online on iFILM. Tom Cruise plays Mitch McDeere, a Harvard Law graduate who lands what looks like a dream job at a small Memphis firm: high salary, a house, a car, full benefits. Gene Hackman plays his senior partner. Everything is too good. Then two associates turn up dead.

The FBI comes knocking with a different kind of offer. They want Mitch to hand over files on the firm's clients — who turn out to be connected to organised crime in Chicago. Say yes to the FBI and the firm will bury him. Say no and he goes to prison. His wife Abby, played by Jeanne Tripplehorn, is already being watched. Ed Harris and Holly Hunter round out a cast that keeps the pressure constant across all 154 minutes.

Based on John Grisham's bestselling novel, the film grossed over $270 million worldwide on a $42 million budget — one of Paramount's biggest hits of the decade. Watch The Firm (1993) in full online on iFILM.
