Storyline
During
World War I Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon), one of the best golfers in Savannah, Georgia, shows
his patriotism by joining the Army. After his entire company is slaughtered,
Rannulph Junuh returns home, disassociates himself from all previous friends
and social activities, lives a completely reclusive life, and slowly begins
drinking himself to death. During this time, Rannulph Junuh’s previous girlfriend,
Adele Invergordon (Charlize Theron), is trying to make ends meet after her
father commits suicide. The Great Depression has begun; she cannot pay the
bills her father left behind and decides to raise the money she needs by
putting on a national golf tournament that showcases the talents of the two best
golfers of the times. She needs a third golfer. A small boy named Hardy Greaves
(J. Michael Moncrief) suggests she add Rannulph Junuh as the third golfer. As
Rannulph Junuh begins practicing for the tournament, Bagger Vance (Will Smith) shows up and
volunteers to be his caddy. He works with Rannulph Junuh to help him get back
into the game and the story is ‘on’.
