The Natural

An unknown middle-aged batter named Roy Hobbs with a mysterious past appears out of nowhere to take a losing 1930s baseball team to the top of the league in this magical sports fantasy. With the aid of a bat cut from a lightning struck tree, Hobbs lives the fame he should have had earlier when, as a rising pitcher, he is inexplicably shot by a young woman. ??Keith Loh Awards: 3 wins & 8 nominations totalBudget: $28,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $47,951,979Soundtrack: The Star Spangled Banner (Lyrics by Francis Scott Key)Barry LevinsonRobert Redford, Robert Duvall, Glenn Close1984-05-11 (United States)tt0087781
