During the Great Depression, a down-on-his-luck businessman, a disillusioned horse trainer, and a jockey blinded in one eye come together. They pin their hopes on an undersized, temperamental racehorse named Seabiscuit, considered too small and lazy to win. Against all odds, the team and the horse capture the nation's imagination, becoming a symbol of hope by taking on the sport's greatest champions.
