I am a fan of movies based on true stories. If it has a sports theme, even better! The Hill is an inspirational baseball movie based on a true story that will be released in theaters starting August 25th. I had the opportunity to watch a sneak preview, and this movie inspires viewers to follow their dreams while pulling at their heartstrings.
The Hill is based on the incredible true story of a boy named Rickey Hill who had a dream of being a professional baseball player. Rickey held onto his dream despite having to wear braces on his legs due to a degenerative spinal disease. Another even greater obstacle in Rickey’s way was a strict and stubborn pastor-father, played by Dennis Quaid. Ricky’s father refused to support his son’s dream in an effort to protect him and because he thought his own plans for his son to follow in his pastoral footsteps were the best.
The child actors in this film were phenomenal, and I was immediately pulled into the characters’ lives.
It has been a while since I have seen Dennis Quaid in a movie, but he does an excellent job of playing a conflicted father.
Watch The Hill in Theaters Starting 8/25!
