Based on a true story, sports agent JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) finds that business has changed and things aren't going well for his career. In a last ditch effort to save his livelihood he concocts a scheme to find baseball's next great pitching ace. Hoping to find a young cricket pitcher he can turn into a major league baseball star, JB travels to India to produce a reality show competition called "The Million Dollar Arm." With the help of cantankerous but eagle-eyed retired baseball scout Ray Poitevint (Alan Arkin), he discovers Dinesh (Madhur Mittal) and Rinku (Suraj Sharma), two 18 year old boys who have no idea about playing baseball, yet have a knack for throwing a fastball. Hoping to sign them to major league contracts and make a quick buck, JB brings the boys home to America to train. While the Americans are definitely out of their element in India — the boys, who have never left their rural villages — are equally challenged when they come to the States. As the boys learn the finer points of baseball — JB, with the help of his charming friend Brenda (Lake Bell) — learns valuable life lessons about teamwork, commitment and what it means to be a family.

As an Indian, I truely felt that this is one of the most finest the hollywood movies to be made in India. A.R.Rehman's score is really good. Though its not much inspirational like other sports biopic, but it stays focused on sports' not just another field of business. A must watch if you are Indian.

This is a pretty good film you can watch with every member of your family. It's neatly made under a crisp time frame.

Great movie, enjoyed watching it. The play services was not very good. The movie got stuck a couple of times and we had to restart it and resume.
