Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood) is a veteran boxing trainer who has devoted his life to the ring and has precious little to show for it. His daughter is estranged from him, and he spends the twilight years of his life running a small, ramshackle gym in downtown Los Angeles.

"Million Dollar Baby" also stars Morgan Freeman, Anthony Mackie, and Mike Colter. The movie is adapted from a short story by F.X.
