It is not uncommon for someone to give up their dream because of physical limitations that are deemed impossible to overcome. But that's not an option for Rickey Hill, who refuses to let his disability stop him from becoming a professional baseball player. The Hill retells Rickey's incredible story on the big screen and is set to hit the theaters this Friday, August 25, 2023. Learn more about the film and enter to win a $10 Amazon gift card!
Synopsis:
Growing up impoverished in small-town Texas, young Rickey Hill shows an extraordinary ability for hitting a baseball, despite being burdened by leg braces from a degenerative spinal disease. His stern, pastor father (DENNIS QUAID) discourages Rickey from playing baseball to protect him from injury, and to have him follow in his footsteps and become a preacher.
As a young man, Rickey (COLIN FORD) becomes a baseball phenomenon. His desire to participate in a try-out for a legendary major league scout divides the family and threatens Rickey’s dream of playing professional baseball.
Based on a true story, THE HILL is directed by Jeff Celentano and also stars JOELLE CARTER, country music singer and songwriter RANDY HOUSER, Golden Globe nominee BONNIE BEDELIA, and SCOTT GLENN.
My Review:
Infused with hope and positivity, The Hill is an inspiring and touching movie about family, faith, and following one's dream despite seemingly insurmountable challenges. It demonstrates the miraculous power of determination, passion and perseverance, which makes it possible for Rickey to endure pains unimaginable to most, to overcome adversity and to beat the odds. His road to success is arduous but empowering.
The film also explores the relationship between father and son, between siblings and between friends. While set in the 1970s, the story nonetheless sheds light on parenting and communication between loved ones. As a sports themed movie, The Hill will not only appeal to baseball fans, but will also inspire youngsters to dream big, work hard and never give up hope.
