About Resurrection: The J.R. Richard Story
The story of famed Houston Astros Fastball Pitcher J.R. Richard, from his high school days in Louisiana, his first round draft pick in 1969, to the massive stroke he suffered in 1980, to his abandonment by the only team he ever played for, to his living as a homeless man under a Houston bridge, to his Resurrection by friends and fans back into baseball.
Directed by Greg Carter, Resurrection: The J.R. Richard Story leans on a strong ensemble — Jessica Jimerson, David Ramsey, Sara Stokes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2005.
