MONEYBALL (2011)
SYNOPSIS
Based on a true story, Moneyball is a movie for
anybody who has ever dreamed of taking on the
system. Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane, the general
manager of the Oakland A's and the guy who
assembles the team, who has an epiphany: all of
baseball's conventional wisdom is wrong. Forced to
reinvent his team on a tight budget, Beane will have to
outsmart the richer clubs. The onetime jock teams
with Ivy League grad Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) in an
unlikely partnership, recruiting bargain players that the
scouts call flawed, but all of whom have an ability to
get on base, score runs, and win games. It's more than
baseball, it's a revolution - one that challenges old
school traditions and puts Beane in the crosshairs of
those who say he's tearing out the heart and soul of
the game. -- (C) Sony Pictures
