The Impossible True Story
Directed by Randall Wallace
Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Fast Track Productions
An uplifting biographical drama about an unlikely underdog triumph, driven by determination and human connection across a male-dominated world.
Housewife and mother Penny Chenery agrees to take over her ailing father's Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her lack of horse-racing knowledge. Against all odds, Chenery - with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin - manages to navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years.
