Based on a true story, this is the rags-to-riches tale of three men � Johnny �Red� Pollard (Tobey Maguire), a half-blind ex-prizefighter, Tom Smith (Chris Cooper), a horse breaker, and Charlie Howard, a millionaire who lost everything -- and Howard�s down-and-out racehorse named Seabiscuit. After teaming up, these three men rediscover hope through Seabiscuit, who takes them -- and the nation -- on the ride of a lifetime, along the way accomplishing great feats that ultimately led to Horse-of-the-Year honors in 1938.

�Seabiscuit� stars Jeff Bridges as Charlie Howard, Tobey Maguire as Johnny �Red� Pollard, Valerie Mahaffey (TV�s �Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) as Annie Howard and Chris Cooper (�Capote,� �Jarheard�) as Tom Smith.
