Seabiscuit is a 2003 American biographical sports drama film based on the best-selling non-fiction book Seabiscuit: An American Legend by Laura Hillenbrand. The film is loosely based on the life and racing career of Seabiscuit, an undersized and overlooked thoroughbred race horse, whose unexpected successes made him a hugely popular media sensation in the United States during the Great Depression.

The film tell a story about three lost men -- Johnny"Red" Pollard (Tobey Maguire), a young man whose spirit has been broken; Charle Howard (Jeff Bridges), a millionaire who lost everything; and Tom Smith (Chris Cooper), a cowboy whose world was vanishing -- who found each other and discovered hope in a down-andout racehorse named Seabiscuit, who took them and the nation on the ride of a lifetime.

The supporting cast, headed by Macy, includes Elizabeth Banks (Spider-Man) and real-life jockeys Gary Stevens and Chris McCarron.

The film was shot at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California, Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky and Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York. Keeneland was chosen to double for Pimlico Race Course because Pimlico had dramatically changed physically since Seabiscuit's time.

On the review website Rotten Tomatoes, 77% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 199 reviews, and an average rating of 7.1/10, with the consensus: "A life-affirming, if saccharine, epic treatment of a spirit-lifting figure in sports history".

The film was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay), Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing and Best Sound.
