Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story

MPAA Rating:PG
Distributor: DreamWorks
Director: John Gatins
Actors: Starring Kurt Russell as Ben Crane, Dakota Fanning as Cale Crane, Kris Kristofferson as Pop Crane, Elisabeth Shue as Lily Crane, Luis Guzman as Balon and Freddy Rodriguez as Manolin.

The bluegrass hills of Kentucky are the setting for this warm, family film. The Crane family, already down on their luck, find themselves at an even greater loss when dad, Ben Crane, loses his job as a racehorse trainer. When Sonador, one of the horses he trained, breaks her leg during a race, Ben agrees to take the injured horse home to his own rundown farm.

On the farm, Ben's 10-year-old daughter, Cale, falls in love with Sonador, which means dreamer, and begins to train her to race again. While Cale’s father is doubtful Sonador will ever race again, he agrees to help Cale doctor the mare. It’s a tough job, but the hard work pays off.

Dreamer shows how important it is to hold onto dreams and work for them. The film also shows the importance of family. Strong characters, good morals and hard work make Dreamer a film the whole family can enjoy and learn from.
