Million Dollar Baby
Beyond his silence, there is a past. Beyond her dreams, there is a feeling. Beyond hope, there is a memory. Beyond their journey, there is a love.
Directed by Clint Eastwood
Produced by Lakeshore Entertainment, Malpaso Productions
A deeply intimate portrait of two damaged people finding redemption through an unlikely bond, only to confront mortality and the limits of love.
Despondent over a painful estrangement from his daughter, trainer Frankie Dunn isn't prepared for boxer Maggie Fitzgerald to enter his life. But Maggie's determined to go pro and to convince Dunn and his cohort to help her.
