Robert Redford plays mythical Roy Hobbs in this adaptation of Bernard Malamud's novel. He goes from being a hotshot prospect to being shot by a deranged woman-shades of Eddie Waitkus. After several years, he makes it to the last-place Knights.

The Knights make it to the World Series despite Roy missing time due to complications from his wounds. Even though he's offered money to help throw the Series (Chicago Black Sox come on down!) he steps up and delivers a game-winning homer.

Wilford Brimley plays Wilford Brimley. Robert Redford swings a bat like he's tied to a 2X4...not exactly a good thing. Overall, not that bad of a movie.
