Full Plot Details

The essence of baseball is the primal battle between the pitcher and batter, but the magic of the game arises from that confrontation, only 396 milliseconds in the making. The mysteries and memories of Baseball's greatest heroes are revealed in FASTBALL, featuring interviews with dozens of former players, from legendary Hall of Famers to up-and-coming All-Stars, including HANK AARON, NOLAN RYAN, & DEREK JETER, and narrated by KEVIN COSTNER. Based on the original idea by the film's producer, Thomas Tull ("Dark Knight") who also produced the Jackie Robinson biopic "42," FASTBALL is peppered with archival footage of baseball's greatest moments plus original high-speed 4K footage and motion graphics that unlock the secrets hidden within a ball traveling over 100 mph. While players, historians, and scientists might disagree on who was actually the fastest pitcher in history - and yes, the film does the physics and concludes with a clear verdict - FASTBALL tells the story of the game itself.

Movie Reviews

Tolucan Times - 10/10 by Tony MedleyI've seen lots of baseball clips but there are clips in this film I've never seen, including some fine clips of the legendary Walter Johnson. But there's a lot more to it than that.This is a film that no baseball fan should miss.
New York Times - 10/10 by Neil GenzlingerThis appealing documentary makes you understand why aficionados regard baseball as a form of poetry.
The Seattle Times - 10/10 by Tom KeoghHock handles that perennial sports question — what is the athletic limit of a human? — with interesting sidebars about the brain and physics. Such mysteries mingle with irresistible lore in this satisfying work.
National Post - 9/10 by Chris KnightFastball will change the way you watch the game, without ever diminishing the sport's mystery and grandeur.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Frank LoveceSuitably solemn yet irresistibly lively documentary about the myth, lore and logistics of baseball's classic pitch.
Christian Science Monitor - 8/10 by Peter RainerThe sunniness of Fastball leaves out a lot, but watching it can be as pleasurable as an afternoon at the ballpark.
Variety - 8/10 by Nick SchagerA film that captures the underlying essence of baseball at the beginning of the 21st century: both humbly wistful and progressively cutting-edge.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Michael RechtshaffenYou don't have to be a baseball fanatic or for that matter a historian or a physicist to appreciate Fastball.
Movie Nation - 8/10 by Roger MooreIt’s a fun film, not quite as lighthearted as the similar “Knuckleball” documentary of a short while back, but amusing enough.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Michael NordineYou wouldn't lose anything watching Fastball on ESPN rather than in the movie theater, but it does stand as further testament to baseball's status as our most chess-like sport, and one that, even when broken down to its tiniest component parts, never loses its magic.
