Josh Hartnett stars as a struggling sports reporter who rescues a former boxing champion (Samuel L. Jackson) who's living on the streets, and soon discovers that the homeless man is, in fact, a boxing legend that was believed to have died. The opportunity to resurrect the champ's story turns into a personal journey as the reporter examines his own life and his relationship with his family, and particularly his six-year-old son. Also with Teri Hatcher, Alan Alda and Kathryn Morris. Directed by Rod Lurie. [1:51]
