An Inspirational Baseball Movie
Tom Selleck stars in this hilarious comedy about an arrogant and aging major league baseball player who is reluctantly traded to the Chunichi Dragons in Nagoya, Japan, in this fish-out-of-water sports comedy. Replaced by a rookie, the resentful Jack Elliot feels superior to the other Dragons, but he has a lot to learn about Japanese baseball, which is more about teamwork than about being an arrogant hotshot. Japanese superstar Ken Takakura is their hard-headed manager, Uchiyama, whom Jack treats with disrespect, while the beautiful Hiroko helps him learn to live in and love his new home.
