The legal battle took place from April to June. The testimonies uncovered disturbing details about their marriage. It was live-streamed and reported on widely, allowing the public to get every detail from the stand.
Social-media users debated every aspect of the case after listening to testimonies from the former couples' employees, family members, and doctors. Their "hot takes" are interspersed throughout the movie.

Depp brought a lawsuit against Heard in 2019, accusing her of defaming him by identifying herself as a victim of domestic abuse in a December 2018 Washington Post op-ed.
While Heard didn't name Depp in the op-ed, Depp's lawyers said in the lawsuit it was "plainly" about him and that its "demonstrably false" allegations "devastated" his career and caused him to lose movie roles and face "public scorn."
He requested $50 million in damages at the time.
During the trial, Depp wore tinted glasses and bold accessories to court routinely, which Hapka does in the film as well.
Megan Davis plays Amber Heard.

Heard countersued, alleging Depp physically and emotionally abused her, and asked for $100 million in damages.
Heard wore conservative attire to court during the trial. Her suits were muted and her collars were high.
Davis' wardrobe echoes the looks the actress wore to court. She wears multiple earrings on the stand in the movie the way Heard did when she was on the stand.
Attorney Camille Vasquez represented Depp in court. Melissa Marty portrays her in "Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial."

Vasquez was a prominent member of Depp's legal team and caught the world's attention while she was defending Depp. Some even speculated she was dating her client.
She called their assumptions "sexist" and has since moved on to another high-profile case involving "Yellowstone" star Q'orianka Kilcher.
In the film, Marty wears sharp blazers the way Vasquez did in court.
Casey O'Keefe plays clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Shannon Curry.

Dr. Curry was one of 40 witnesses called to testify in the trial. She spoke about her evaluation of Heard.
Elaine Bredehoft represented Heard in the trial. Mary Carrig played her in the movie.

Bredehoft was a member of Heard's legal team. The actress has since changed her legal representation.
Bredehoft's hair has a honey tone but Carrig wears a brighter shade of blonde in the movie. There is also a significant difference in their bangs.
Carrie Gibson plays Judge Penney Azcarate.
