Frankie Dunn (CLINT EASTWOOD) has trained and managed some incredible fighters during a lifetime spent in the ring. The most important lesson he teaches his boxers is the one that rules his life: above all, always protect yourself. In the wake of a painful estrangement from his daughter, Frankie has been unwilling to let himself get close to anyone for a very long time. His only friend is Scrap (MORGAN FREEMAN), an ex-boxer who looks after Frankie’s gym and knows that beneath his gruff exterior is a man who has attended Mass almost every day for the past 23 years, seeking the forgiveness that somehow continues to elude him.

Then Maggie Fitzgerald (HILARY SWANK) walks into his gym.

Maggie’s never had much, but there is one thing she does have that very few people in this world ever do: she knows what she wants and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to get it. In a life of constant struggle, Maggie’s gotten herself this far on raw talent, unshakable focus and a tremendous force of will. But more than anything, what she wants is for someone to believe in her.

In turns exasperating and inspiring each other, the two come to discover that they share a common spirit that transcends the pain and loss of their pasts, and find in each other a sense of family they lost long ago. What they don’t know is that soon they will both face a battle that’s going to demand more heart and courage than any they’ve ever known.

Clint Eastwood not only stars, directed and produced MILLION DOLLAR BABY, he also composed the original score for the film and received a Golden Globe nomination for his music. Famous for his love of music and jazz, Eastwood realizes the value of a great score and has starred in films that were scored by some of film music’s greatest legends … Ennio Morricone (The Good, The Bad and The Ugly), John Williams (The Eiger Sanction), Jerry Fielding (The Outlaw Josey Wales) and Lalo Schifrin (Dirty Harry). Clint himself also composed the main theme for his own Oscar-winning film Unforgiven as well as the love theme for The Bridges Of Madison County! Here he scored the entire film, and the score for MILLION DOLLAR BABY is an absolutely beautiful, touching and heartbreaking work. In addition, this CD also features some great jazz from the film.
