From Academy Award-nominated director Gus Van Sant
and starring Academy Award-winning actor Sean Connery,
Finding Forrester is an uplifting story about a unique relationship
between an eccentric, reclusive novelist and a young, amazingly
gifted scholar-athlete (Rob Brown).

After the novelist discovers that the young athlete is also an excellent
writer and secretly takes him on as his protege, they develop an
unlikely friendship and defy the assumptions they initially made
about one another. But when the integrity of their friendship is
tested, it comes down to a moment of truth for both men:
for Jamal, a choice between following his dream or betraying 
a friend, and for Forrester, a decision to remain closed off or
to look at the world through new eyes.
