Changing Lanes Movie
Gavin Banek (Ben Affleck), a successful young attorney, is in a hurry to get to the courthouse. He needs to deliver legal papers that will transfer control of a deceased eccentric rich man's multi-million dollar estate over to his law firm. Doyle Gipson (Samuel L. Jackson), a down-on-his-luck insurance salesman, is also in a rush to a custody hearing to announce that he has got a house loan from the bank so that his ex-wife Valerie (Kim Staunton) and his sons won't move to another country. The two men's cars collide on the expressway at the most inopportune moment. Due to the process of the post-crash discussion Gipson misses his hearing, while Banek arrives at the court in time but discovers a crucial legal file inadvertently dropped at the scene of the accident. As Gipson loses custody of his kids, he decides to ruin the well-groomed attorney's life by refusing to give him back his paper. Thus a fierce and treacherous battle starts between the two desperate men.
