Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesMost of the background baseball-playing actors were current and former college and professional baseball players who lived around Augusta, Georgia.
- PatzerIn the beginning of the movie, teen age Rickey Hill is driving a 1973 mustang fastback. The year is 1975 in the movie. How does a 2 year old mustang look beat up like a 40 year old mustang? Also the mustang has modern machined aluminum wheels that were only available in the last 30 years, not 50.

Ausgewählte Rezension
Father/Son period piece
The Hill hits home (no pun intended) if you grew up in a smaller town. Growing up in the bible belt, I understand that strict, moral parental values are hard to let go of when children want to walk a different path in life.
Rickey Hill and his Father rarely see eye to eye - the conflict of baseball, faith, and their relationship can't seem to coexist. Rickey see's his skills at bat as a gift while his father sees it as a surefire way that he will be crippled forever. It's tough love verses stubbornness on his father's behalf as Rickey time and time again proves that he can fulfill his dream.
It's a rarity these days that we see such a gritty & real father/son relationship on screen and from the first scene, you're rooting for the two to salvage a bond together. Dennis Quaid and Colin Ford have great chemistry and you really believe their father and son dynamic. The child actors playing the younger version of the characters did a great job as well and the time period (late 60s/early 70s) makes for a perfect, All-American setting.
"October Sky" meets "The Natural". A winning baseball movie for the whole family.
