Reception -- Accolades
Seabiscuit is a 2003 American equestrian sports film co-produced, written and directed by Gary Ross and based on the best-selling non-fiction book by Laura Hillenbrand. The film is loosely based on the life and racing career of Seabiscuit, an undersized and overlooked Thoroughbred race horse, whose unexpected successes made him a hugely popular media sensation in the United States during the Great Depression. Seabiscuit was nominated for seven Academy Awards.
