Directed by Mimi Leder ("The Leftovers"), the "inspiring" (Maureen Lee Lenker, Entertainment Weekly) film showcases award-worthy performances where Academy Award® nominee Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything) is "exceptional" (Yolanda Machado, The Wrap) in her role as a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg, alongside Armie Hammer (Call Me By Your Name) as Ruth's husband, Marty Ginsburg, and an outstanding supporting cast including Justin Theroux ("The Leftovers"), Jack Reynor (Glassland), Cailee Spaeny (Bad Times at the El Royale), with Academy Award® nominee Sam Waterston (The Killing Fields) and Oscar® winner Kathy Bates (Misery).

Stronger together, Ruth teams up with her husband, Martin Ginsburg (Hammer), to fight for the case that catapults her to become one of the most important public figures of our time.
