Handlung
Roy Hobbs ist ein vielversprechender Nachwuchsspieler, doch sein Traum vom Ruhm in der Oberliga platzt, als eine rätselhafte Frau und eine Kugel seine Karriere jäh beenden. 16 Jahre später findet Hobbs, mit seinem Baseballschläger 'Wonderboy' aus Kindertagen zum Baseball zurück, wenn auch nur im Außenseiterteam der 'New York Knights'. Gelingt es Hobbs, seine körperlichen Schmerzen und alle negativen Einflüsse um ihn herum zu überwinden, um die 'Knights' zum Sieg zu führen?
