Wiki.
From the Hip is a 1987 American courtroom comedy-drama film directed by Bob Clark from a screenplay by Clark and David E. Kelley. The film stars Judd Nelson, Elizabeth Perkins, John Hurt, Ray Walston, and Darren McGavin.
In the film, a recent graduate of law school manipulates his superiors into allowing him to represent a banker in his trial. He intentionally turns the case into a media frenzy, and then wins the trial by conspiring with the opposing lawyer. Having won fame and a promotion, the young lawyer next becomes the lead defense counsel in a murder trial. When he realizes that his client is actually guilty, he is more interested in making the man pay for his crime than in advancing his own career.
