The Rainmaker is a movie that takes the viewer on the ride with a lawyer during his first trial. This is not only his first trial, but this is his first experience as a lawyer. Rudy is newly hired into a firm with one of his first cases being a "Rainmaker." He gets involved with this family he met at a workshop that was held The University of Memphis. He commits to help the family because an insurance company is scamming them. Their policy has been denied on several occasions because the company claims they don't cover the bone marrow transplant procedure that the young man needs. Rudy eventually wins the case, but not without his share of shadiness. Rudy's claim to being a lawyer is that he wants to clean up the game and give the people a lawyer that they can trust. Rudy does the best he can but he has to play hardball because a crafty veteran lawyer that knows ever trick in the book opposes him. Rudy's morals are tested when he and his partner figure out that the opposition bugs their phone. Rudy then pretends to tamper with the jury selection. Later in the case, his partner searches through the trash to find some documents. Rudy also calls a witness that was not interviewed by the defense. Throughout this case, Rudy has two other lower profile cases that come into play from scene to scene. They seem minor but one in particular causes Rudy to engage in some practices he ought not be involved with. He accidentally commits a homicide by killing an abusive husband. He acted as a lawyer to young lady that filed for a divorce after he met her a hospital when he was getting treated for her injuries. The incident occurred because he went with her to her home to collect her things and her husband came home to find them. Rudy actually met the young lady through some illegal ambulance chasing that he engaged in as he started the movie. The movie is filled with mistakes made by Rudy but he does an overall stellar job on his first case.
