The Legend Of Bagger Vance is a romantic drama based on the novel of the same name by Steven Pressfield.
Rannulph Junuh was an incredible golfer from Savannah, Georgia, until he returned from fighting in World War I.
An experience while at war broke Junuh's confidence and sent this talented golfer down a spiral of alcoholism.
Several years later, Junuh returns to Savannah and is called into representing Savannah in a golf tournament against several professional golfing legends.
Junuh, however, has lost his game and swing.
His recovery comes in the form of Bagger Vance, a drifter who appears one night and caddies for Junuh.
Vance's spiritual influence and guidance not only helps Junuh remember his swing, but also teaches him about life.
