About the film
What are you really worth?
What it’s about
Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland Athletics, faces a crisis after losing key players to richer clubs. His budget cannot compete with teams like the New York Yankees. During a scouting trip to Cleveland, he meets Peter Brand, a young Yale economics graduate. Brand proposes a radical method: evaluate players through statistical analysis rather than traditional scouting. Beane adopts this approach, betting his career on an unproven system.
What hooks you
Brad Pitt stars as Beane, with Jonah Hill as Brand. The film received six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor. The screenplay by Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin adapts Michael Lewis's book about the real Athletics. The film's focus on data-driven decision-making offers a fresh angle on the sports genre, exploring the clash between tradition and innovation.
Who it’s for
It will appeal to those who enjoy stories of underdogs challenging the status quo, and to viewers interested in the intersection of sports and analytics. The film's focus on intellectual problem-solving and workplace conflict will resonate with fans of character-driven dramas.
