On the Basis of Sex

Inspired by the true story of a young, spirited Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Felicity Jones, The Theory of Everything, A Monster Calls)—then a struggling attorney and new mother facing adversity and numerous obstacles in her fight for equal rights for women. When Ruth takes on a groundbreaking tax case with her husband, attorney Martin Ginsburg (Armie Hammer, Call Me by Your Name, Sorry to Bother You), she knows it could change not only the direction of her career, but the way the courts view gender discrimination. Also starring Kathy Bates, Sam Waterston, Justin Theroux, and Stephen Root.
