The Rainmaker is a 1997 motion picture starring Matt Damon, Danny DeVito, Claire Danes, Jon Voight, Danny Glover, Virginia Madsen, Mary Kay Place and Red West. It is based on the 1995 novel of the same name by John Grisham.
Rudy Baylor (Matt Damon) is a law graduate from the Memphis State UniversityLaw School. Unlike most of his fellow graduates, he has no high-paying job lined up and is forced to apply for part-time positions.
Desperate for a job, he reluctantly is introduced to J. Lyman "Bruiser" Stone (Mickey Rourke), a ruthless but successful ambulance-chasing lawyer, who makes him an associate. To earn his fee, Rudy is required to hunt for potential clients at a local hospital. He is introduced to Deck Shifflet (Danny DeVito), a less-than-ethical former insurance assessor, now a paralegal who has failed the bar exam six times. However, Deck is resourceful in gathering information and practically an expert on insurance lawsuits.
