Ever since Hopper (Johnny Simmons) was a child, he has dreamed of becoming a major-league pitcher. Relentlessly pushed by his abusive father (Academy Award Nominee Ethan Hawke), he's on the verge of becoming one of the game's most promising players when he unexpectedly breaks down on the mound. Now, Hopper's only hope lies with an unorthodox sports therapist (Academy Award Nominee Paul Giamatti), who urges him to let go of the past so he can find success on the field.
The Phenom is presented in 1080p with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. Special features have yet to be detailed.
