The Firm – Film4 – 11.15pm
Our pick for tonight is the third Tom Cruise entry on this list. He plays ambitious young lawyer, Mitch McDeere, who moves town with his wife (Jeanne Tripplehorn) to join a prestigious law firm.
Taken under the wing of a senior partner (Gene Hackman), however, Mitch comes to learn that his new place of work has a very sinister dark side.
Based on a best selling novel by John Grisham, The Firm is a supremely watchable thriller thanks to its twisty story, taut direction by Sydney Pollack (Three Days of the Condor) and incredible cast.
The latter also includes David Strathairn, Ed Harris, Wilford Brimley and an Oscar-nominated Holly Hunter.
