Michael Clayton

Michael Clayton (2007) is a sharp legal thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Writer-director Tony Gilroy built the film around George Clooney as the titular fixer — the man a top New York law firm calls when a problem needs to disappear quietly, backed by Tom Wilkinson and Tilda Swinton.

For fifteen years, Clayton has cleaned up other people's messes without asking too many questions. Then a senior partner goes off-script in the middle of a six-year, multi-billion-dollar case against agro-chemical giant U/North — stealing key documents and switching sides overnight. Clayton is sent in to contain the situation. Instead, he starts pulling the thread and discovers just how much the firm has been burying. Staying in the game now means something it never did before.

The film earned seven Academy Award nominations at the 2008 Oscars; Tilda Swinton won Best Supporting Actress. Stream Michael Clayton in full online on iFILM.
