Erin Brockovich, 3E, Wednesday 10pm

Julia Roberts delivers one of her best performances in Steven Soderbergh’s compelling legal drama, playing a single mother who takes a job as a clerk for a lawyer, played by Albert Finney, only to stumble across evidence of a corporate cover-up by a utilities firm that has been poisoning the water supply of an entire town. Roberts won an Oscar for this portrayal along with a princely $20m paycheck.
