“I will.”

From Worth.

A lawyer often involved with large lawsuits, Ken Feinberg (Michael Keaton) is used to using facts, numbers, and math to settle cases involving lots of people. After the September 11, 2001 attacks left 3,000 Americans dead or missing, Ken is shaken up and left wondering how to help. A few weeks later, Ken is invited to sit in on a meeting for the Airline Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act which is an initiation being pushed by the nation’s major airlines to avoid bankruptcy through the countless lawsuits that could come from the attacks. Realizing that most families of victims couldn’t afford a drawn-out lawsuit against the airlines, Ken reaches out to John Ashcroft (Victor Slezak) seeking to be a part of the Act. Soon Ken is brought in as special master in charge of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund to determine what each lost life was worth and how much should be given to the surviving family members. Along with Camille Biros (Amy Ryan), his partner at the law firm, Ken brings in Priya (Shunori Ramanathan) and Darryl (Ato Blankson-Wood) to help create a mathematical formula to determine how much each life was worth. The Fund has been given two years to get the participation of 80% of the 7,000 families required for law to be carried out with payments from the government. As they try to determine how much each life was worth, Ken urges that professional distance is the only way to properly complete their task, but he quickly faces major opposition from Charles Wolf (Stanley Tucci), a 9/11 widower that sets up a Fix the Fund movement to bring humanity into the formula. Ken soon finds himself struggling with the victims’ families (including Laura Benanti and Chris Tardio) and Lee (Tate Donovan), a lawyer representing the families of wealthy victims. With the deadline fast approaching and participation too low, Ken must find a way to truly help the families.

Inspired by true events, this drama is both moving and inspiring. Keaton impressively leads the cast through an emotional reminder of the turmoil, pain, and eventual hope that filled those months after the 9/11 attacks. Worth offers an interesting perspective into American resilience and the power of human compassion.
