It looks like you might be referring to the movie "Erin Brockovich," which is a biographical film directed by Steven Soderbergh and came out in the year 2000. Julia Roberts stars in the leading role as Erin Brockovich, a legal assistant who, despite lacking formal legal education, plays a significant role in building a case against the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) of California in 1993. The case alleged that the pollution of the groundwater with hexavalent chromium in the small town of Hinkley, California, was responsible for a spate of illnesses. The case resulted in a 333 million dollar settlement, which was the largest of its kind at the time.
Julia Roberts's portrayal of Brockovich earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress. The film focuses on themes of social justice and the importance of tenacity and determination in the face of adversity. It is well-regarded both as a piece of entertainment and as a movie that raised public awareness about environmental issues and corporate accountability.
