Michael Clayton

Michael Clayton is a "fixer" for a prestigious New York City law firm, using his connections and knowledge of legal loopholes for clients' benefit. One night, he receives a call about a client who was involved in a hit-and-run accident, leaving his high-stakes poker game to attend to the matter. Later, he drives into the countryside and in the early morning, he suddenly stops to approach a trio of horses in a field, when a bomb detonates in his car parked nearby.
