In the 1930's, when Americans longed to escape the grim realities of Depression-era life, four men turned Seabiscuit into a national hero. They were 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. ER -
