Inspired by the remarkable story of 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro -- a horse that seemed to be a serious Triple Crown contender before fatefully shattering one of his hind legs in the Preakness -- Peter Berg's docudrama focuses on the noble efforts made by owners Roy and Gretchen Jackson, trainer Michael Matz, and veterinary surgeon Dean Richardson to humanly stabilize the injury and keep the animal alive against all odds. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
