Philadelphia
review
Synopsis
Andrew Beckett, a senior associate at a law firm in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, hid the fact that he was gay and had AIDS from his colleagues. One day when Beckett is assigned an important case for the office, one of his colleagues notices something strange about Beckett's body. Beckett takes a few days off from the office, but is immediately fired from the office. Believing this to be unfair discrimination against AIDS patients, Beckett asks Miller, his former enemy, to defend him, but he is turned down due to his prejudice against homosexuals and AIDS patients. However, moved by Beckett's desire to fight alone, Miller decides to accept the request.
