Film based on Laura Hillenbrand's best-selling book, which
in turn was based on a true story about a mistreated and mishandled horse that
became a symbol of hope for America during the Great Depression. Charles Howard
(Jeff Bridges), a successful automobile salesman, buys the horse hoping for a
distraction, and he hires a caring trainer (Chris Cooper) and a half-blind,
ex-boxer jockey (Tobey Maguire) who's as angry and frustrated as the horse.
Together the unlikely trio lead the knobbly-kneed Seabiscuit to his 1938 win of
the Horse of the Year honors and turn him into an inspiration for millions of
people. Also with Elizabeth Banks and William H. Macy. Directed by Gary Ross.
[2:20 - PG-13]
