In 1992, 79 year old Stella Liebeck accidentally spilled hot coffee from McDonald's on herself. The resulting injuries, extensive medical and rehabilitation bills and the corporate indifference of the fast food giant are the lead story in this documentary, but not the only one. Beside providing background to the "tort reform movement" of the early 2000s, there is also the case of Jamie Leigh Jones v. Halliburton (2005) where an employee unknowingly signed a Dispute Resolution Program agreementMandatory Arbitration Settlement.
