42 the Jackie Robinson story  Cover Image DVD DVD

42 [videorecording] : the Jackie Robinson story / Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures present ; a Legendary Pictures production ; produced by Thomas Tull ; written and directed by Brian Helgeland.

Summary:

Brian Helgeland's historical sports drama/biopic 42 relates the historic 1947 baseball season in which Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) decides to sign the first black Major League player, Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman). Although Robinson faces ugly, vicious racism from other clubs, fans, and on occasion his own teammates, Rickey encourages him to not fight back. By following that advice, Robinson allows his remarkable athletic talent to speak for itself, and soon the first-year player becomes one the most popular players on the team, eventually securing the Rookie of the Year award.
