Additional InformationBrian Helgeland's historical sports drama/biopic 42 relates the historic 1947 baseball season in which Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) decides to sign the first black Major League player, Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman). Although Robinson faces ugly, vicious racism from other clubs, fans, and on occasion his own teammates, Rickey encourages him to not fight back. By following that advice, Robinson allows his remarkable athletic talent to speak for itself, and soon the first-year player becomes one the most popular players on the team, eventually securing the Rookie of the Year award. Christopher Meloni and Hamish Linklater co-star.
ReviewsNew York Daily News - Boseman is watchful, winning and confident, but never saintly. Yet he keeps RobinsonÆs moral spine aligned with his skill and self-respect, showing how he needed all of those to succeed., Tampa Bay Times - One of the all-time great sports movies ù primarily because it's one of the all-time great sports stories.
