簡介： 制片人兼導(dǎo)演蘇珊·莎拉道夫（Susan Saladoff）的紀(jì)錄片《熱咖啡》，6月27日（周一）晚上九點(diǎn)在HBO電視臺首播。
紀(jì)錄片主要介紹了1994年里貝克訴訟麥當(dāng)勞餐廳案。斯特拉·里貝克（Stella Liebeck）女士在麥當(dāng)勞就餐時，不小心被一杯熱滾滾的咖啡嚴(yán)重燙傷，之后經(jīng)過陪審團(tuán)裁定，獲得二百九十萬美元的補(bǔ)償金。
紐約每日新聞評價說，可能旁觀者會憤怒地?fù)u搖頭表示這起事故應(yīng)該是里貝克自己的過失，并覺得她獎這件事情的責(zé)任全部推給麥當(dāng)勞是十分可笑的。
該部紀(jì)錄片中的圖片和采訪就是為了打消人們的這些想法，展現(xiàn)出真正的傷痕所在，這些傷痕仿佛“殘酷戰(zhàn)爭留下的可怕的印記”。

We will tell the truth and let the audience decide if spilling hot coffee is really as profitable as they might otherwise believe. Written by Anonymous

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." Written by Hot Coffee…
