Directed by Mimi Leder, "On the Basis of Sex" is a compelling biographical drama chronicling the early career of future Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The film stars Felicity Jones as the determined Ruth, with Armie Hammer portraying her supportive husband, Martin Ginsburg. Facing institutional sexism in the 1970s, Ruth teams with her husband and a dedicated ACLU attorney, played by Justin Theroux, to tackle a groundbreaking case that challenges the very foundation of gender-based discrimination in federal law. The supporting cast features Kathy Bates, Sam Waterston, Jack Reynor, Stephen Root, and Cailee Spaeny in key roles that shape Ruth's journey. Written by Daniel Stiepleman and produced by Robert W. Cort, this 120-minute, PG-13-rated film is an inspiring portrait of perseverance and legal strategy that paved the way for a historic career.
