Julia Roberts wears a TAG Heuer

The early-1990s legal thriller had a formula: a John Grisham novel, a major star, a paranoid atmosphere. Alan J. Pakula's The Pelican Brief (1993) follows it faithfully. Julia Roberts plays Darby Shaw, a Tulane law student whose brief connecting the assassinations of two Supreme Court justices to an oil magnate makes her a target. After her professor and lover Thomas Callahan (Sam Shepard) is killed by a car bomb meant for her, she goes on the run, with Denzel Washington's reporter as her lifeline.

A watch-spotting site lists Darby's watch as a TAG Heuer S/el, but the watch visible on her wrist in the available still is a gold-cased dress watch on a brown leather strap, which does not match the S/el's integrated metal bracelet. The brand cannot be read on screen, so the identification is uncertain.
