Moneyball is
a 2011 biographical sports drama film directed by Bennett Miller and
distributed by Columbia Pictures. The film is based on Michael Lewis's 2003
book of the same name, an account of the Oakland Athletics baseball team's 2002
season and their general manager Billy Beane's attempts to assemble a
competitive team. In the film, Beane (Brad Pitt) and assistant GM Peter Brand
(Jonah Hill), faced with the franchise's unfavorable financial situation, take
a sophisticated sabermetric approach towards scouting and analyzing players,
acquiring "submarine" pitcher Chad Bradford (Casey Bond) and former
catcher Scott Hatteberg (Chris Pratt), and winning 20 consecutive games, an
American League record.
Columbia
Pictures bought the rights to Lewis's book in 2004. After a number of years
in development, the film was featured at the 2011 Toronto International Film
Festival and was released on September 23, 2011 to a box-office success and
positive reviews. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best
Actor and Best Picture on January 24, 2012.
