《永不妥协》这部电影改编自真实事件，是关于一个带着三个孩子的年轻妈妈的故事。这是个彪悍的女人，尽管一开始她的生活倒霉透了，但她很快找到了生活的目标为643位污水诉讼案的原告讨回公道。她没有接受过专业的律师教育、没有律师资格，但比起那些挂着专业头衔高高在上的法律人士，她更能体会那些原告的处境和心情，并最终取得了所有诉讼人的信任。

　　《永不妥协》经典台词

　　I don't need a pity. I need a payback. And I've looked. But when you spend the past six years raising babies... it's real hard to convince someone to give you a job that pays worth a damn. Are you getting every word of this down, honey, or am I talking too fast for you?

　　我不需要怜悯，我需要薪水。我努力找工作，但当了六年黄脸婆，要找份好工作难如登天。亲爱的，听到没?我会不会说得太快?

　　This job... for the first time in my life I've got people respecting me. Up in Hinckley... I walk into a room and everyone shuts up to hear if I've got something to say. I never had that before. Ever.

　　这份工作……是我这辈子第一次感受到被人尊重的滋味。在辛克利，人们看到我都闭口不言，等我开口，我从来没有过这种感觉。

　　There are two things that aggravate me, Mr. Masry: being ignored and being lied to.

　　马西瑞先生，我最讨厌的两件事：别人对我视而不见和被别人骗。

　　Either you gotta find a different job or a different guy.
