ELI5: You see in movies/TV often where someone has a clear cut lawsuit against a company, but find out “they have million dollar lawyers that will tie you up in court and bankrupt you in fees” How much of that is reality versus Hollywood?

A little true, a little false.  Thing thing about large companies is that they don't want to pay those million dollar lawyers either.  They will always take the cheaper option.  If a lawsuit is totally false, but they have to pay those million dollar lawyers to prove it, most big companies will settle and pay someone who does not deserve it because it's the cheaper option.  Conversely, if the lawsuit is a huge one and paying those million dollar lawyars is cheaper, they will do that.  It's all about the dollar signs.  


Sometimes the big corporations are actually at a disadvantage, because they have to pay their lawyers out of pocket, while lawyers specializing in lawsuits will work for nothing unless they win if they are confident of winning.  The plaintiff in that case has nothing to lose.  


So--it depends.
