By admin2 | November 20, 2008
Hilary Swank plays Maggie Fitzgerald, a poor, thirty year old waitress with a dysfunctional family, who decides to change her life through boxing. She convinces the experienced hardened boxing trainer Frankie Dunn, played by Clint Eastwood, to coach her and be her manager, with the support of his old partner Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris, played by Morgan freeman, who sees her potential as a boxer. Frankie has a problematical relationship with his daughter, and practically adopts Maggie along her career. Million Dollar Baby, which Eastwood directed as well, went on to win the Oscar for Best Picture.
