One heck of a great movie based on Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball. This is actually two movies in one, Robinson enduring the racism as the first black ball player; Harrison Ford steals the show with his portrayal of Branch Rickey the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers, supporting, encouraging, pushing and shoving Robinson through his journey to stardom. Of note also is the black sports writer who takes Robinson under his wing, Wendell Smith, a great sports journalist who also suffered bigotry while creating his legacy. A must see for everyone. 4 bananas
