About this product

Product Information

THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE, based on the book of the same title by Steve Pressfield, uses golf as the basis for this spiritual tale of friendship, self-discovery, and faith. His incredible prowess at the game of golf makes young Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon) the pride of Savannah, Georgia in 1916. When Junuh enlists and is sent overseas to fight in World War I, the reality of war proves too much for him. Rather than return to Savannah a broken man, he simply disappears, much to the dismay of his girlfriend, feisty socialite Adele Invergordon (Charlize Theron). When Junuh finally does return to Savannah in 1931, he is coerced into representing his hometown in a golf tournament against legends Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. But Junuh has lost his swing, and only begins to find it again with the help of Bagger Vance (Will Smith), a mysterious drifter who appears out of the night and offers his services as a caddy. Ultimately, Vance is a spiritual force, teaching Junuh not only about the game, but also about life in this beautifully filmed work directed by Robert Redford (ORDINARY PEOPLE, THE HORSE WHISPERER). Jack Lemmon narrates and makes a brief appearance in the film.

Golf is a game that can only be played, not won
Fantastic movie a la Robert Redford style. He weaves life themes and lessons into a story about a has been golf extraordinaire. The movie encompasses the themes of loyalty, dignity, adversity, and gives new meaning to the idea that all of us is a unique in some divine way. The trick is to stop living in the past, forgive yourself, and find and live in your "authentic self." No psychobabble. Pacing is perfect. I watched it maybe 10x since I rediscovered it. Superb performance by a young Jack Lemmon. Brought back the nostalgia of sport inspired community bonding in the days before contracts, big money, and power. A true delight to watch Will Smith play Bagger Vance character. Redford always has a theme about perfect timing in his movies, and it appears he directs with the same grounded freedom. Absolutely not to be missed. Matt Damon believable without going over the top-another of Redford's trademarks is his movies that touch your heart and inspire mindful thoughts about the human condition. Beautiful piece of work. A true pleasure to watch again and again. Thank you!

Great little film, nearly a 'classic'
While rated 6.7 on IMDb, I would place it higher for many reasons: Engaging story, good acting, nice scenery, a palatable sports story for non-fans like me, inspirational in a non-religious way, dramatic and yet fun. There are movies that are worth collecting because they don't get old; this is one of them.

The Legend of Baggar Vance
Nice movie, very entertaining. This movie really shows some of the real to life issues that golfers face on the tour and or on your neighborhood course. I was visiting a course with my girlfriend. We just drove around the course to view it over. On one tee a teenager was beginning to tee off and we were watching from 30 feet away. He swung 17 times, missing the ball every time. Not until we left did he finally hit the ball. And then only 35 feet. Pressure to perform from a self imposed anxiety cripples golfers around the world. Fear, uncertainty, guilt, over confidence are some of the emotions displayed and dealt with in this movie. I saw the movie several times and enjoyed it more and more.
