About this product

Product Information

Farm boy Roy Hobbs (Robert Redford) is the best baseball player anyone has ever seen. His bat, handmade from the wood of a tree felled by lightning following the death of his father, is magic in his hands. But before his career can start, the mysterious Harriet Bird (Barbara Hershey) inexplicably shoots him, sidelining him for more than a decade. Fifteen years later, Hobbs returns to play for the New York Knights, whose coach, Pop Fisher (Wilfred Brimley), begrudgingly accepts the aging rookie as a member of the team. Pop is as surprised as the rest of the team when Hobbs knocks the ball out of the park time and again and can still play a mean outfield as well. However, when the politics of the business side of the game get in the way, Hobbs has to make some life-changing decisions. Meanwhile, he becomes involved with Memo Paris (Kim Basinger), a sultry siren with her own agenda. Glenn Close plays Iris, the hometown girl whom Hobbs left behind but never forgot. Director Barry Levinson (DINER, RAIN MAN) manages to re-create the excitement of old-time baseball while telling an all-American tale of success and failure, based on the novel by Bernard Malamud.

  • Difficult to translate into Spanish, I assume natural as flawless swing at bat plate.

    A classical film, nostalgic view about baseball, Robert Redford at his best,Glenn Close in a simple charming acting and a very young Kim Basinger as the temptress vamp. Better end scene of all baseball movies I have seen so far and I am collecting a great deal of them. Ball game belongs to the heart of American roots and this movie proves it flawlessly. A must see.

  • The Natural is a good movie, very intertaining.

    I missed this movie when it came out and always wanted to see it. I saw it on Ebay for a very good price so I bought it. It is a very good movie. I like Robert Redford very much. This movie is about people and integrity, and no explosions and gratuitous foul language.

  • The Natural

    The disc and case are in good shape. Better than the story line of this movie which is very strange. The main character is a loser, always getting into trouble. There is one decent character in the story who eventually rescues the loser from himself. So at least the ending is good.

  • My Bat

    I bought a wood lathe and my Son suggested making a baseball bat using the lathe and a piece of an ash tree he'd taken down in his yard. Movie was good and added to the bat making experience.
