Loosely based on two real-life cases, Philadelphia is a legal courtroom drama about a lawyer who seeks justice after being wrongfully dismissed from his law firm due to discrimination. Demme’s film was not only one of the highest-grossing films of 1993, but it was also nominated for five Academy Awards at the 66th Academy Awards. The film’s title, Philadelphia, serves as a symbolic backdrop for its themes, exploring homophobia, humanization, justice, liberty and the misconceptions surrounding HIV/AIDS.
