Hardball

Coaching was his last chance... and theirs.

Keanu Reeves (The Matrix Revolutions), Diane Lane (Must Love Dogs) and D.B. Sweeney (Eight Men Out) score in this uplifting story of triumph over adversity that "hits an emotional home run."

Conor O'Neill (Reeves) is a down-on-his-luck gambler in debt to dangerous loan sharks. Desperate for cash, Conor reluctantly takes a job coaching a youth baseball team. The "team" turns out to be a ragtag group of tough-talking kids from Chicago's inner city. Secretly, Conor plans to desert the team after he wins a big bet. But the stakes are higher than Conor imagined: The kids need someone to believe in. As Conor wrestles with his past, the kids start to teach him some lessons that will forever change his future - that responsibility and trust must be earned and hope can appear in the most unlikely places.
