Bennett Miller (Capote, Moneyball) delivers a searing true-life account of three men grappling for their versions of the American Dream. A virtually unrecognizable Steve Carell earned a Best Actor nod as the eccentric heir John du Pont. Obsessed with wrestling, he invites champion brothers Mark and Dave Schultz (Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo) to train at his estate for the 1988 Seoul Games. There, the trio is propelled towards a tragedy no one could have foreseen. D: Bennett Miller, US, 2014, 129m
