Synopsis – What to Expect from “61*”
61* is a 2001 American biographical sports film directed by Billy Crystal. The film tells the story of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, two of the most iconic baseball players of the 1960s, as they attempt to break Babe Ruth’s single-season home run record.
The film opens with Maris and Mantle as they are about to begin their historic 1961 season. Both players are seen as highly competitive and driven to break the record, but Maris is seen as more of an underdog, while Mantle is seen as the more popular and talented of the two.
The film follows Maris and Mantle as they battle through the season, facing both physical and mental challenges. Maris is constantly dogged by the press and public, who are rooting for Mantle to break the record. Maris also struggles with a nagging injury and the pressure of the record, while Mantle deals with his own injuries and the expectations of the public.
The film culminates in the last game of the season, when Maris and Mantle are both within striking distance of the record. With the entire stadium watching, Maris hits his 61st home run of the season, setting the new record.
The film ends with Maris and Mantle embracing each other on the field and the crowd erupting in cheers, celebrating Maris’ record-breaking achievement.
