Moneyball (2011 Bennett Miller)

Or, how an underdog football team made good, territory that we've been in before, despite writing by Steven Zaillian and re-writing by Aaron Sorkin (based on Stan Chervin's story, itself based on Michael Lewis's book).

Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill work; with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, Chris Pratt, lots of other people. It's a cast of thousands. Scenes of conflict with team of older managers and contract negotiations work best.

Screenplay, Pitt and Hill were Oscar nominated.

Wally Pfister's images are good, as is Mychael Danna's music.

Kerris Dorsey plays Brad's daughter and the song she sings is 'The Show' by Lenka.
