Difficult "backstage" mechanisms of the White House set in motion in order to destroy unmasking materials and people who know too much.

Review.
“The Pelican Brief” is a very interesting but suspenseful movie. It has lots of twists that make film rich, excited and tense. The film reveals the quite real and possible situation concernig a government conspiracy. The oil tycoon wants to drill for oil on the marshland which is a major habitat of an endangered species of pelican. He stops at nothing for the sake of his business, even if it requires murders. With a help of government he protects his image and remains unpunished. This film proves us that politics is a ruthless business, that allows people who are involved into it do everything want they want in order to reach their goals. Murders of innocent people and destruction of the environment are just ordinary ways in order to manage their dirty affairs.
I think such movies are neccessary for ordinary audience because they help to think and analyze the present situation of politics and its connection with modern world's environmental issue.

Too short for my liking and fails to follow the guidelines.
