Celeste Wood, la veuve d'un ancien fumeur mort d'un cancer du larynx, intente un procès aux grandes compagnies de tabac américaines. Du côté de la plaignante, un vieil avocat brillantissime, du côté de la défense, une équipe de techniciens de pointe servis en sourdine par un homme qui ne reculera devant rien. Car l'enjeu est de taille : si les compagnies perdent ce procès, elles seront définitivement ruinées par les plaintes en cascade qui s'ensuivront. La partie semble perdue d'avance. Mais à l'heure du verdict, un grain de sable vient enrayer la machine : il s'appelle Nicholas Easter, il est le "maître du jeu"

Based on the bestseller by John Grisham, Runaway Jury is a slick thriller that's exciting enough to overcome the gaps in its plot. The ultimate target has been changed: Grisham's legal assault on the tobacco industry was switched to the hot-button issue of gun control (no doubt to avoid comparison to The Insider) in a riveting exposé of jury-tampering. Gene Hackman plays the ultra-cynical, utterly unscrupulous pawn of the gun-makers, using an expert staff and advanced electronics to hand-pick a New Orleans jury that will return a favorable verdict; Dustin Hoffman (making his first screen appearance with real-life former roommate Hackman) defends the grieving widow of a gun-shooting victim with idealistic zeal, while maverick juror John Cusack and accomplice Rachel Weisz play both ends against the middle in a personal quest to hold gun-makers accountable. It's riveting stuff, even when it's obvious that Grisham and director Gary Fleder have glossed over any details that would unravel the plot's intricate design.
