Good Will Hunting
“Some people can never believe in themselves, until someone believes in them.”
Will Hunting is a headstrong, working-class genius who is failing the lessons of life. After one too many run-ins with the law, Will's last chance is a psychology professor, who might be the only man who can reach him.
