This movie was about a single mother who is trying to raise three young children while trying to hold down a good job. She also had a very hard time finding suitable daycare for her children. One day, Erin Brockovich was filing papers at a lawyer's office when she came across this real estate document. This real estate document said that Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) was going to buy this family's house to build a freeway ramp to their company.
This document intrigued Erin, because of the blood samples that were attached. Because of her medical background, she picked up on something in those medical reports that were not right, and so she went to investigate it. She went and talked to the family whose house was in the process of being bought by PG&E and this family had various medical problems. Erin went and investigated some water documents about PG&E, and what she uncovered was a massive water contamination cover-up. This family had no idea that their illnesses were the result of water contamination or even that their illnesses had anything in common. PG&E paid them to go see a doctor, and PG&E bribed the doctor to say that their illnesses had nothing in common.
