Most people think they know the "McDonald's coffee case," but what they don't know is that corporations have spent millions distorting the case to promote tort reform. HOT COFFEE reveals how big business, aided by the media, brewed a dangerous concoction of manipulation and lies to protect corporate interests. By following four people whose lives were devastated by the attacks on our courts, the film challenges the assumptions Americans hold about "jackpot justice."

There are a lot of powerful people who don't want you to watch this. I believe it is important for you to watch this. If you believe you are the type of person who would choose the, "Red Pill," then you should watch this.

Most of the documentary is NOT directed towards the hot coffee incident, but other much more serious cases. [spoiler] I did not really agree that someone who spills coffee on themselves can be classified on the same banner as medical mistakes and rape on an army base, both of which are obviously the fault of someone else. It felt like more of a political attack on the Republicans as it kept cutting away to Bush, Reagan negative comments and Clinton, Obama positive comments. Still it did show the stupidity of having caps on compensation and the jury not knowing the amount that is capped is simply ridiculous and wrong. The legal system is as usual too complex for its own good and lacks common sense. How can the public trust such a system, which is open to exploitation...Need to start again. If you are giving out so much money for spilling coffee on yourself, people will actively look to harm themselves for money, similar to how people in China throw themselves in front of cars so they can sue the other person for hitting them.
