JB Bernstein is a sports agent who may outwardly look successful, but is struggling to make much business these days due to serious competition from much more enterprising sports entrepreneurs. JB and his business partner Ash are under significant threat of closure if they don't come up with some new ideas soon. He devises a plan to introduce America's next biggest baseball star by travelling to India to check out some of the nation's finest young cricketers. After filming a talent show called 'Million Dollar Arm', he brings winners Rinku and Dinesh over to the States to learn the art of baseball. Unfortunately, there appears to be more differences between baseball and cricket than Bernstein initially thought, and the boys are struggling under the pressure. However, with a little teamwork and determination, things start to look like they're going to work out just fine.
'Million Dollar Arm' is a sports biographical drama based on true events. Directed by Craig Gillespie ('Fright Night', 'Lars and the Real Girl', 'Mr. Woodcock') and written by Thomas McCarthy ('Up', 'The Visitor', 'Win Win'), the movie tells the story of Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel's rise to baseball prominence in 2008. With music by double Oscar winning A.R. Rahman ('Slumdog Millionaire', '127 Hours'), the film is due for US release on May 16th 2014.
