Changing Lanes

An attorney (Ben Affleck) - in a rush to make a court appointment to file legal papers involving a multi-million dollar trust - accidentally collides with an alcoholic insurance salesman (Samuel Jackson) who is also rushing to court to try to gain custody of his children. The attorney leaves the scene of the accident and strands the salesman, causing him to miss his custody hearing. However, during the confrontation following the crash, the attorney accidentally drops the papers he needs to present in court. The judge gives him until the end of the day to present the papers sparking a cat and mouse game between Affleck and Jackson's characters.
