A moving, funny, and unconventional drama based on true events, Erin Brockovich stars Academy Award® nominee Julia Roberts as the twice-divorced mother of three young children who uncovers an injustice, takes on the bad guy, and wins. Directed by Steven Soderbergh (sex, lies, and videotape, Kafka, Out of Sight), this acclaimed Universal Pictures release features Albert Finney, Aaron Eckhart and Marg Helgenberger in a gripping story of truth, tragedy, and triumph. With no job, no money, and no prospects, Erin Brockovich is a woman in a tough spot. But when she fast-talks her way into a job at lawyer Ed Masry's (Finney's) office, they both get more than they bargain for. The original screenplay by Susannah Grant, based on the real-life heroine Erin Brockovich, is, in the words of Chris Hewitt, critic for the Knight-Ridder News Service,"direct, intelligent, and witty in a way you wouldn't expect a movie about a class-action lawsuit to be." In our Newmarket Shooting Script® Series format, here is the complete shooting script, an introduction by Susannah Grant, movie stills, production notes, and complete cast and crew credits.

Erin Brockovich was made up of some of the best screenwriting Hollywood has to offer. Susannah Grant is incredible, witty, and to the point. If you are an aspiring screenwriter, this script is an essential read. It is a perfect example of the model Hollywood script. No fluffy detail or unneeded dialogue. She's got her craft down. This version is the shooting script, but is not completely exact with the movie. Only minor details have been changed. Get yourself a copy of this script and relive the power of this movie word by word.
