Because of scoring exceptionally high on a statewide standardized exam and being an exceptionally good basketball player Jamal Wallace is sent to a prestigious prep school in Manhattan. He soon befriends the reclusive writer, William Forrester. The friendship leads William to overcome his reclusiveness and for Jamal to overcome the racial prejudices and pursue his true dream - writing. Review: No chapter menus but this is the best looking disc transfer - This is a burned Blu-ray. I believe the file contained originated from a region B UK Blu-ray. Now there is no chapter menu or chapters in this disc so you'll have to fast forward to get to other parts of the movie. I personally have no problem with this because every time I sit down to watch this film I "sit down and watch this film." This is a really good movie and this disc is the best looking disc in this region. The image is very organic looking and it preserves its filmic look. This film has some stylistic photography with will cause some shots to lack the clarity people are used to nowadays. However, this disc is miles ahead of the recent Mill Creek release which used heavy DNR in there master making the film look muddy and unnatural. This is the disc to buy! Review: Great, touching movie finally in HD. - I really liked this movie when I first saw it and still like to watch it periodically. Great acting and an enjoyable story. I was waiting for this to come out in Blu-Ray and finally that seemed to be the case here. However, the "made to order" part of this had me questioning the quality (this isn't a mass-produced Blu-Ray, but a one-off copy made with your order). I went ahead with the order and I am very pleased with the quality of the movie and the disk plays in whatever player's I've tried it in. So if you're concerned about ordering the Blu-Ray because of this, don't worry. It's great to see this wonderful movie in high definition.

Great movie, plot
Great movie,plot,acting,sound tract! I have heard it is "Corney,unlikely,unreal" etc.I think it is a portrayal of what can and does happen in real life. Similar occurrences happened to me and a young man from the same neighborhood (East Los Angeles (only ~thirty-five+yrs later) under-like circumstances--families from Mexico,poor,lacking education.He got a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry,and I an M.D., both of us, from the University of Utah. Another "great,authentic,real life movie in the same genre is "Stand and Deliver" starring Edward James Olmos (he lived 2 houses down from me). There are more but only need to be found

Keine 007 story sondern eine Geschichte mit Tiefgang die es sich lohnt anzuschauen- Sean RIP Danke für deinen Beitrag an die Filmwelt!

this is one of those lost movies or sleepers as some would say. Sean is of course great in his role which carries the movie. The plot is a little sentimental but who cares.. this is Sean Connery after all.

Last great Sean Connery movie. So sad he's stopped acting.
