An Un-Civil Action

How about this for a movie plot:

The humble son of a Pennsylvania steelworker rises to become the CEO of a large sand company. When his company is sued on bogus charges by a swarm of class action attorneys he refuses to capitulate. Instead he fights back. He exposes the corruption of the attorneys and doctors who conspire to manufacture evidence and phony diagnoses for money.

And he wins, saving his company and showing the world how corrupt America's tort system has become.

The makings are all there in the story of John Ulizio.

But is this a movie Hollywood would make. Only if the CEO could somehow be turned into a kindly, arthritic old lady ala "The Soloist."
