THE NATURAL
One of the most beloved sports movies of all time, this film combines a classic tale of heroic destiny, a nostalgic love for the American pastime at its glory in the 1930s and the dramatic flair that the best sports contests deliver. Robert Redford is Roy Hobbs, a middle-aged rookie for the last-place New York Knights who has a mysterious past. Finally given playing time, Hobbs’ electrifying abilities vault the Knights into contention, but the publicity attracts some unwanted attention from unfriendly sources.
