Action Biography Drama Sport

7.5 / 10

In 1946, Jackie Robinson is a Negro League baseball player who never takes racism lying down. Branch Rickey is a Major League team executive with a bold idea. To that end, Rickey recruits Robinson to break the unspoken color line as the first modern African American Major League player. As both anticipate, this proves a major challenge for Robinson and his family as they endure unrelenting racist hostility on and off the field, from player and fan alike. As Jackie struggles against his nature to endure such abuse without complaint, he finds allies and hope where he least expects it.

Yes, racial abuse was & is very real. Movies like this can help expose the injustices; but it's also a movie "based" on a true "story". The perspectives they present overall are exaggerated. This can deepen the hate between Black & Whites for some people. The movie becomes evident proof justifying continued bitterness in place of forgiveness. Although I as a white have never mocked a black; I'm truly sorry a for the whites that have. Please accept my apology for them; please move on with life. - @Saturday, June 29, 2013 8:22 PM

I really want to see this movie especially after finding out that Jackie Robinson lived down the street from the house I grew up in. The majority of people in Pasadena don't even know that there is a plaque outside of what used to be Jackie Robinson's house. Pasadena celebrates Jackie but they over looked what I feel was a huge detail. The plaque is now covered up with dirt and overgrowth and his old house was torn down. I think the least my city could do is refurbish the plaque. - @Tuesday, April 9, 2013 1:41 AM

it wasn't everyday that a black man played on any all white team. Jackie Robinson broke that taboo. he lived through insults, verbal and physical attacks. but he was an inspiration to many people, black, white, whoever because he broke down race barriers. to look at the friendship between Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese was amazing. Jackie Robinson didn't give up; he pushed on, and he proved that everyone (black, white, whoever) can achieve their dreams. that, to me, beats django anytime. - @Monday, March 18, 2013 7:48 PM
