Jeff Bridges stars as Charles Howard, an entrepreneur who owns the unlikely racehorse. Howard teams with partially blind boxer-turned-jockey Red Pollard (Maguire in his first performance since annihilating the 2002 box-office in Spider-Man) and horse trainer Tom Smith (Chris Cooper fresh off his best-supporting actor Oscar for Adaptation). Together, the three work to help the famed horse to several symbolic victories that helped to inspire a downtrodden 1930s America. The supporting cast, headed by Macy, includes Elizabeth Banks (Spider-Man) and real-life jockeys Gary Stevens and Chris McCarron. Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Seabiscuit by a head.....
What a horse & what a story! Until Secretariat came along, no horse could match this one for stamina & heart. Laura Hillebrand told it in the book & it was captured on film perfectly, with all the actors cast perfectly! Jeff Bridges, always impeccable, portrays a tycoon who loses everything, including the most important, then bets it all on a broken down horse, but only with the help of a horse whisperer, portrayed by Chris Cooper, probably the best character actor ever. Tobey Maguire has the spirit & heart to match Seabiscuit's as the scrappy, intelligent jockety, who gets into the profession by chance; but he knows what he is doing, and knows his horse. It is a wonderful, heartwarming movie, and most of all, it is true. You will watch it again & again over the years. Suitable for kids over ten, who will love it too.
