Plot

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, married and with a daughter, confronted many difficulties when attempting to study a legal career, simply for being a woman. In 1972, Ruth with the help of her husband, Marty, begins a fight to achieve an equality of rights for both men and women in the United States, and take on the cases of discrimination on the basis of sex. The film, directed by Mimi Leder ('Deep Impact'), tells the brave story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and how she stood up against discrimination towards women. Felicity Jones ('Rogue One') stars as Ginsburg accompanied by Armie Hammer ('Call Me by Your Name'), Justin Theroux ('The Girl on the Train'), Jack Reynor ('Macbeth'), Cailee Spaeny ('Bad Times at the El Royale') and Sam Waterston ('The Man in the Moon').

Trivia

Age

Although she plays their daughter, Cailee Spaeny is only 13 years younger than Felicity Jones and 11 years younger than Armie Hammer.

Different protagonist

In the first years of development of the film, Natalie Portman was going to play the part of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, until she abandoned the project and Felicty Jones was casted for the role.

Pauli Murray

When Ruth is preparing to appear in front of the federal appeals court, she practices in front of a panel of mock judges, including her former professor Gerald Gunther and the legal scholar, civil rights activist, and pioneering Episcopal priest Pauli Murray. During the practice session, Murray assumes the identity of a male judge; in fact, in Rosalind Rosenberg's 2017 biography "Jane Crow: The Life of Pauli Murray," Rosenberg reveals that Murray was in fact what we would today characterize as transgender--she identified as male.
