Seabiscuit, an American epic of triumph and perseverance set during the Great Depression, is based on the best-selling book that was one of the most popular and widely read non-fiction books of recent years. It is the story of three men - a jockey (Tobey Maguire), a trainer (Chris Cooper) and a businessman (Jeff Bridges) - and the down-and-out racehorse that took them and the entire nation on the ride of a lifetime.
Based on the book Seabiscuit: An American Legend, by Linda Hillenbrand.
