The movie is about a female boxer - Maggie Fitzgerald (Hillary Swank). While in a World Championship fight, she suffers an accident and gets paralyzed from her neck down. She even needs to use a respirator to breathe.
The final quarter of the film is about tough choices facing her coach and manager Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood) and torments he undergoes as to whether he should or shouldn't help Maggie to die...
The picture received four Academy Awards - for the Best Picture (2005), Best Director (Clint Eastwood), Best Actress (Hillary Swank) and Best Supporting Actor (Morgan Freeman).
