| Verhaal |
| Every baseball season Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon) chooses one promising member of the Durham Bulls minor league baseball team as a lover and educates that player in the ways of life, love, and baseball with the hope of speeding him along to the Major Leagues. This season it is young rookie pitcher Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh (Tim Robbins). Career minor league baseball player Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) finds himself demoted to the Single-A Durham Bulls with the assignment of helping Nuke with his control problems and getting his personal life in order, also to speed his progression to the Major Leagues. Crash resents the assignment but accepts it as a way to keep playing professional baseball. Since they have essentially the same job Crash and Annie quickly find they are competing for control of Nuke. As the season progresses, they begin to fall for each other but are not able to admit it or to act on it. Soon Nuke develops into the star everyone hoped he would be and is called up to the Majors leaving Crash and Annie to figure out what they really want. |
