Seabiscuit

Inspirational fact-based drama set in Depression-era America. The titular Seabiscuit is a racehorse deemed too weak to be a contender, and seemingly destined for that great stable in the sky. However, a bereaved millionaire resolves to turn the steed into a champion, recruiting a cowboy to train it and a half-blind former prize fighter as a jockey. The mismatched group's efforts result in a record-breaking winning streak that captures the hearts of the nation. Gary Ross' gripping and unashamedly sentimental movie stars Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges, Chris Cooper and William H Macy
