Cale and her father nurse an injured horse back to health and dream of winning a big horse race. Dreamer, loosely based on a true story, is the story of a Kentucky horse trainer and his daughter who rescue a horse with a broken leg. The two then help nurse the animal back to health and take it to race in the Breeders' Cup. Along the way, father and daughter discover that they have a lot more in common than they ever imagined. Dakota Fanning, Kurt Russell, Elisabeth Shue, and Kris Kristoferson head the cast.
