Summary
During the Great Depression, three damaged men - a grieving self-made millionaire, a quiet horse whisperer of a trainer, and a half-blind former boxer turned jockey - come together around an undersized, overlooked thoroughbred named Seabiscuit. As the unlikely horse begins winning against the odds, he becomes a symbol of hope for a struggling nation and drives toward a legendary match race against the reigning champion War Admiral.
