Movie Synopsis
JB Bernstein is a once-successful sports agent who now finds himself edged out
by bigger, slicker competitors. He and his partner Aash will have to close their
business down for good if JB doesn't come up with something fast. Late one
night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, JB comes up with an
idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next
baseball pitching sensation? Setting off for Mumbai with nothing but a gifted
but cantankerous scout in tow, JB stages a televised, nationwide competition
called “Million Dollar Arm” where 40,000 hopefuls compete before two
18-year-old finalists, Rinku and Dinesh, emerge as winners. JB brings them back
to the United States to train with legendary pitching coach Tom House. The goal:
get the boys signed to a major league team. Not only is the game itself
difficult to master, but life in the U.S. with a committed bachelor makes things
even more complicated-for all of them. While Rinku and Dinesh learn the finer
points of baseball and American culture, they in turn teach JB the true meaning
of teamwork and commitment. Ultimately, what began as a purely commercial
venture becomes something more and leads JB to find the one thing he was never
looking for at all-a family.
