About the Movie:
Growing up impoverished in small-town Texas, young Rickey Hill shows an extraordinary ability for hitting a baseball, despite being burdened by leg braces from a degenerative spinal disease. His stern, pastor father (DENNIS QUAID) discourages Rickey from playing baseball to protect him from injury, and to have him follow in his footsteps and become a preacher. As a young man, Rickey (COLIN FORD) becomes a baseball phenomenon. His desire to participate in a try-out for a legendary major league scout divides the family and threatens Rickey’s dream of playing professional baseball. Based on a true story, THE HILL is directed by Jeff Celentano and also stars JOELLE CARTER, country music singer and songwriter RANDY HOUSER, Golden Globe nominee BONNIE BEDELIA, and SCOTT GLENN.
I don't know about you, but I'm in the mood for a good David and Goliath story... a story of the underdog overcoming all the obstacles and coming out on top... my mind automatically goes to sports films. While I may know absolutely nothing about sports---of any kind--- and have no desire to watch the games themselves, the movies about them? Yes, please. These stories tend to have beautiful and inspirational messages that even us non-athletes can relate to and learn from. Make it a sports movie with faith elements too!? Count me in!
This is exactly what you will get with the inspiring new movie The Hill. The beautifully done movie is based on the true story of Rickey Hill, a boy who loved baseball despite the physical limitations he was born with. It is a movie that the whole family can enjoy that will remind us that with God all things are possible.
