What is a summary of Seabiscuit movie?

Answer 1

Seabiscuit is a film based on a novel by Laura Hildenbrand called Seabiscuit: An American Legend. Both the novel and the film are based on the racing career of Seabiscuit, an unlikely horse that went on to achieve great success.

Answer 2

The story of Seabiscuit was not just a story about a horse. The miracle of Seabiscuit's story was the aligning of four radically different and flawed individuals, and only when together, for a moment in history, they healed each other and achieved greatness.

Seabiscuit was a small horse, around 15HH in horsespeak, who was 'over at the knees' and 'paddled' a front leg at the gallop. From royal bloodlines, he was a disappointment to his original trainer Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons of Claireborn Farms in Kentucky. He had a horrible temperment due to harsh training methods.

He was bought by Charles Howard, a wealthy Buick dealer, for the outrageous price of $2000. Howard was recovering from the death of one of his children in a car accident, and the breakup of his marriage. He bought the broken-down horse, hired a 'marginal' trainer named Tom Smith, and then hired an accident-prone, half blind, alcoholic jockey.

These three men and one small loser of a horse had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shine, and they did it in a huge way. This team was just what America needed during the Depression years. Seabiscuit is the ultimate underdog story.

Answer 3

The story of Seabiscuit was about a small, misunderstood horse that, under the right guidance became a champion race horse in the 1930's and 1940's.
