Although he lives with his partner Miguel Álvarez (Antonio Banderas), Beckett is not open about his homosexuality at the law firm, nor the fact that he has AIDS. On the day he is assigned the firm's newest and most important case, one of the firm's partners notices a small lesion on Beckett's forehead. Shortly thereafter, Beckett stays home from work for several days to try to find a way to hide his lesions. While at home, he finishes the complaint for the case he has been assigned and then brings it to his office, leaving instructions for his assistants to file the complaint in court on the following day, which marks the end of the statute of limitations for the case. Beckett suffers from bowel spasms at home and is rushed to the hospital. Later that morning, while still at the ER, he receives a frantic call from the firm asking for the complaint, as the paper copy cannot be found and there are no copies on the computer's hard drive. However, the complaint is finally discovered and is filed with the court at the last possible moment. The following day, Beckett is dismissed by the firm's partners, who had previously referred to him as their "buddy", but now question his professional abilities in light of the misplaced document. Beckett believes that someone deliberately hid his paperwork to give the firm a pretext to fire him, and that the firing is actually as a result of his diagnosis with AIDS. He asks several attorneys to take his case, including personal injury lawyer Joe Miller (Denzel Washington), with whom he had been involved in a previous case. Miller, who is admittedly homophobic and knows little about Beckett's AIDS, initially declines to take the case and immediately visits his doctor to find out if he could have contracted the AIDS through shaking Beckett's hand. The doctor explains the methods of HIV infection. The doctor then offers to take a sample of Miller's blood, suspecting that Miller was asking about AIDS because he suspected he had contracted it and was trying to hide it. Miller dismisses the request by laughing it off, thinking it a joke. Unable to find a lawyer willing to represent him, Beckett is compelled to act as his own attorney. While researching a case at a law library, Miller sees Beckett at a nearby table. After a librarian announces that he has found a book on AIDS discrimination for Beckett, others in the library begin to first stare and then move away, and the librarian suggests Beckett retire to a private room. Disgusted by their behavior, Miller approaches Beckett and reviews the material he has gathered. It is obvious he has decided to take the case. Upon receiving a summons by Miller, the head of the firm, Charles Wheeler (Jason Robards), worries about the damage the lawsuit could do to his business and reputation, although one partner (Ron Vawter) unsuccessfully tries to convince them to settle out of court with Beckett. As the case goes before the court, Wheeler takes the stand, claiming that Beckett was incompetent and claiming that he had deliberately tried to hide his condition. The defense repeatedly suggests that Beckett had invited his illness through promiscuity and was therefore not a victim. In the course of testimony, it is revealed that the partner who had noticed Beckett's lesion had previously worked with a woman who had contracted AIDS after a blood transfusion and so would have recognized the lesion as relating to AIDS. To prove that the lesions would have been visible, Miller asks Beckett to unbutton his shirt while on the witness stand, revealing that his lesions were indeed visible and recognizable as such. During cross-examination, Beckett admits that he was originally planning to tell his law colleagues that he was gay, but changed his mind after hearing them make homophobic jokes in the sauna of a health club. When asked about the truth of how he got infected, he confirms that he engaged in anonymous sex with another man at a pornographic movie theater. However, he and Miller gain an advantage when the partner who advised settling out of court confesses he long suspected Beckett had AIDS but never said anything, and how he regrets his inaction. Beckett collapses during Wheeler's testimony. During his hospitalization, the jury votes in his favor, awarding him back pay, damages for pain and suffering, and punitive damages totaling nearly $4.5M. Miller visits Beckett in the hospital after the verdict and overcomes his fear enough to touch Beckett's face. After Beckett's family leaves the room, he tells Miguel that he is ready to die. A short scene immediately afterward shows Miller getting the word that Beckett has died. The movie ends with a reception at Beckett's home following the funeral, where many mourners, including the Millers, view home movies of Beckett as a healthy child. Summary of the book – FEVER, 1793 How It All Goes Down Matilda "Mattie" Cook is a fourteen-year-old girl living above a coffeehouse in Philadelphia with her mother, grandfather (a former military man), a parrot named King George, and an orange cat named Silas. Eliza, a free black woman, is the coffeehouse cook. A typical teenager, Mattie is always in the middle of daydreams, beginning to notice boys and getting into all kinds of arguments with her single mother, Lucille. (Sounds like some things never change.) One day, the coffeehouse's serving girl, Polly, doesn't show up for work. Turns out she came down with a case of the fever, and the next thing you know, she's being buried. Scary, right? Matilda sure thinks so. More and more cases of the fever start popping up, and rumors of an epidemic spread through the coffeehouse and across the city. Around this time, we're also introduced to the ever-so-dreamy Nathaniel Benson, a painter's apprentice, who Matilda runs into at the marketplace. The two have been friends for a long time, but Matilda is starting to see the chap in a whole new, hearts-and-flowers kind of light. Anyhow, Matilda's very own mother, Lucille, is the next person to fall ill. One doctor after another visits the coffeehouse and, soon enough, they start draining her blood in an effort to cure her. (An unfortunate practice popularized, as we learn, by the physician Benjamin Rush.) During the illness, Matilda's mother demands that her daughter be removed to the country to avoid becoming infected with yellow fever too. To please Lucille, Matilda and her grandfather set off for the safety of the country in a wagon with a farmer and his family. When they get stopped by town guards, though, Matilda and her grandfather are mistaken for fever patients and booted from the wagon. Not even the farmer and his family will come to their rescue! (It's every family for themselves, apparently.) Abandoned in the country, Matilda tries to care for her ailing grandfather (he's not in good shape, but doesn't have yellow fever), but falls ill herself with the fever herself. She starts to feel dizzy, and the next thing you know, everything goes black. When Matilda wakes, she's in a bed at Bush Hill, a hospital staffed by Dr. Deveze and other French doctors who, unlike Dr. Benjamin Rush, don't believe in bleeding their patients. Instead, they recommend bed rest and food. Right on! Mrs. Flagg, a nurse, flirts with Grandfather and helps Matilda get back on her feet. Once recovered, Matilda and Grandfather return to the city where they unfortunately find the coffeehouse completely ransacked by looters and thieves. Matilda does her best to provide food for herself and her grandfather, scavenging what she can from the small garden. One night, though, robbers enter the coffeehouse through an open window and attack Mattie, who's sleeping downstairs. Grandfather intervenes and gets injured in a scuffle with one of the robbers. He dies with Matilda at his side. It's all very, very sad, and Mattie, completely alone now, takes it pretty darn hard. After seeing her grandfather properly buried, Matilda wanders around the city of Philadelphia. She finds an orphan in the doorway of a building named Nell, who has lost her mother. Taking Nell under her wing, Matilda soon tracks down a familiar face: Eliza, the former coffeehouse cook and one of Matilda's best friends. Eliza takes Matilda and Nell to her brother Joseph's house, where Matilda meets Joseph, his twin boys, and Mother Smith, a crotchety old woman who's helping take care of the boys since their mother passed away. Matilda helps with the children and works with the Free African Society with Eliza, where they care for fever patients and their families. Unfortunately, the children (Nell and the twins) soon come down with yellow fever themselves. Because Joseph's place is too hot, Eliza and Matilda move them to the coffeehouse, where they work day and night nursing the children. Eventually, the frost comes and the children's fever breaks. Matilda is reunited with hunky Nathaniel Benson in the marketplace. People from the country start filtering back into the city, including President Washington. The coffeehouse opens back up and Matilda asks Eliza to be her business partner. After a little coaxing, she agrees. Nathaniel Benson starts coming around, and Matilda hangs his paintings on the walls of the coffeehouse. Eliza organizes a feast of thanksgiving for the whole clan: Mattie, Mother Smith, the twins, Joseph, and even Nathaniel. Eventually, Matilda's mother returns to town, and the two are reunited. It's clear that Lucille is not as strong as she once was, but Matilda is building a new life, and a new family for them. With the memory of those they have lost, Matilda looks forward to the future of the coffeehouse and being with those she loves.
