Law student Darby Shaw writes a paper - and calles it the Pelican Brief - which presents her own theory about the attacks on two judges of the Supreme Court. Lecturer Thomas, who is at the same time Darby’s lover, shows the paper to his friend at the FBI. Soon Thomas is killed and after that everyone who had any contact with the Pelican Brief. Darby is terrified, she changes her appearance and goes into hiding. She comes up with an idea to get in contact with a well known journalist Graham Gray. The pair start to discover the truth behind the attacks on the judges.
Very good political thriller, fast action and excellent performance from the actors (not just the two main characters) keeps the viewers at the edge of the seat from the beginning until the end. Subject of the movie is always up-to-date as long as there would be politics.
