Product Information

Academy Award winner SEAN CONNERY stars in this powerful and unforgettable drama from acclaimed director Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, To Die For). With a strong cast including Academy Award winners F. MURRAY ABRAHAM (Amadeus, Last Action Hero) and ANNA PAQUIN (The Piano, X-Men), the film also features rap music superstar Busta Rhymes (Shaft) and an incredible performance from talented newcomer Rob Brown. Jamal Wallace (Brown) is a talented 16-year-old basketball player in New York City whose secret passion is writing. William Forrester (Connery) is a reclusive Pulitizer Prize-winning novelist who never gave the world a second novel.

Soon, Forrester's harsh view of the world begins to change as both men learn lessons from each other about life - and the importance of friendship.

  • Connery as Forrester, at his best.

    This was a Sean Connery movie I hadn't previously seen. A great actor, a great storyline, a drama I found most enjoyable. It is about Sean Connery's character who is a reclusive writer whose place is broken into by Jamal (actor Rob Brown), a 16year old basketball player 'would be writer', and from this meeting a 'student - teacher' relationship develops. The story involves Jamal's interactions with another teacher who is also linked to Forrester by his writings. The bond develops between Forrester and Jamal, and they eventually end up by helping each other. A 'feel good' movie
