Slovenski opis filma:

Drama programa HBO se odvija poleti 1961, ko se najboljša odbijalca v bejzbolu Mickey Mantle in Roger Maris lotita tekmovanja, da bi porušila športni rekord, ki ga je postavil legendarni Babe Ruth. Dolgoletni ljubitelj bejzbola Billy Crystal je režiser drame, posnete po resničnih dogodkih, ki se odvija poleti 1961. Takrat se najboljša odbijalca poklicne lige v bejzbolu Mickey Mantle (Thomas Jane) ter Roger Maris (Barry Pepper) odločita, da bosta porušila športni rekord v največjem številu zmagovalnih zadetkov v sezoni, ki ga je postavil legendarni Babe Ruth. Igralca bejzbolskega moštva New York Yankees očarata državo in se znajdeta pod neizprosnimi medijskimi žarometi, ki postavijo na preizkušnjo njuno potrpežljivost ter osebno prijateljstvo.

Originalni opis filma:

Aiming for one of the most famed records in sports history, a pair of very different baseball players hit home runs at an impressive rate. Roger Maris, a reserved sort, is much less popular than his hard-partying New York Yankee teammate Mickey Mantle, the player who many observers think will be the one to challenge Babe Ruth's record of 60 home runs in one season. But in the summer of 1961, Maris surges ahead of Mantle, making a run at Ruth's mark.
