Sports agent JB Bernstein was once incredibly successful in his field, but now there's a bunch of serious new sporting entrepreneurs in town that look to be about to make his job very difficult. With his agency under the threat of closure, he and his partner Ash need to start thinking long and hard about fresh new ideas that could rake in the dollars. While watching a cricket match on the box, JB devises a crazy idea to find America's next huge baseball star in India by setting up a talent show for the nation's finest young cricketers. The finalists of the show entitled 'Million Dollar Arm' are Rinku and Dinesh, who subsequently fly over to the US to begin training in the art of baseball. However, things are less easy than they first appeared and JB finds himself in deep water when it becomes clear just how different baseball and cricket are.
This biographical sports drama is based on a true story and has been directed by Craig Gillespie ('Fright Night', 'Lars and the Real Girl', 'Mr. Woodcock') with a screenplay by Thomas McCarthy ('Up', 'The Visitor', 'Win Win'). 'Million Dollar Arm' features music composed by Oscar winning A.R. Rahman ('Slumdog Millionaire', '127 Hours') and it is due for US release on May 16th 2014.
