Seabiscuit is a 2003 film based on the career of Seabiscuit - a race horse from the Depression era who inspired hope among all those surrounding him, despite all odds against him. The film, directed by Gary Ross (Pleasantville) stars a powerhouse ensemble of Hollywood actors including Tobey McGuire, Jeff Bridges, and Chris Cooper. Charles Howard (Jeff Bridges) owns Seabiscuit, a small, brown, thorough-bred race horse with not much promise of becoming a profitable investment. Howard enlists a friend, Tom Smith (Chris Cooper) to help train the beast. Red Pollard (Tobey Maguire), a failed, half-blind ex-boxer in need of money trains alongside Howard and Smith as jockey. All three work together to create an unstoppable and unrivaled race horse who had no promise at first. Seabiscuit's success raised spirits during a dark period in the United States. A supporting cast includes Elizabeth Banks, William H. Macy, Gary Stevens and Chris McCarron. Be sure to check out why Seabiscuit changes so many people's lives.moreless
