'Seabiscuit'
Writer-director Gary Ross takes on the bestseller by Laura Hillenbrand about an underachieving thoroughbred who was nurtured by an iconoclastic trainer, a doting owner and a hard-luck jockey into the top racehorse of his day, the Depression-shadowed mid-1930s. Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges, Chris Cooper and William H. Macy star.
