Synopsis:
Sam
Dawson
(Sean
Penn)
is
a
mentally-challenged
father
raising
his
daughter
Lucy
(Dakota
Fanning)
with
the
help
of
an
extraordinary
group
of
friends.
As
Lucy
turns
seven
and
begins
to
intellectually
surpass
her
father,
their
close
bond
is
threatened
when
their
situation
comes
to
the
attention
of
a
social
worker
who
wants
Lucy
placed
in
foster
care.
Faced
with
a
seemingly
unwinnable
case,
Sam
vows
to
fight
the
legal
system
and
forms
an
unlikely
alliance
with
Rita
Harrison
(Michelle
Pfeiffer),
a
high-powered,
self-absorbed
attorney
who
takes
his
case
pro
bona
as
a
challenge
from
her
colleagues.
Together
they
struggle
to
convince
the
system
that
Sam
deserves
to
get
his
daughter
back
and,
in
the
process,
fuse
a
bond
that
results
in
a
unique
testament
to
the
power
of
unconditional
love.
