The Firm is a 1991 legal thriller by American writer John Grisham. His second book, it was Grisham's first which gained wide popularity; in 1993, after selling 1.5 million copies, it was made into a film starring Tom Cruise and Gene Hackman.
The day after Grisham completed A Time to Kill, he began work on his second novel, The Firm, the story of an ambitious young attorney lured to an apparently perfect law firm that was not what it appeared. The Firm remained on The New York Times' bestseller list for 47 weeks, and became the bestselling novel of 1991. Beginning with A Painted House in 2001, Grisham broadened his focus from law to the more general rural South but continued to write legal thrillers. He has also written sports fiction and comedy fiction.
