Despite his boxy build, stumpy legs, scraggly tail and ungainly gait, Seabiscuit was one of the most remarkable thoroughbred racehorses in history.
In the 1930's, when Americans longed to escape the grim realities of Depression-era life, four men turned Seabiscuit into a national hero -- his fabulously wealthy owner Charles Howard, his famously silent and stubborn trainer Tom Smith, and the two hard-bitten, gifted jockeys who rode him to glory.
This film illuminates the precarious economic conditions that defined America in the 1930's and explores the fascinating behind-the-scenes world of thoroughbred racing.
