Good Will Hunting
Leaving August 31
•
2h 6m
Directed by Gus Van Sant • 1997 • United States
Starring Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Robin Williams
What does genius look like? The Oscar-winning cultural touchstone that launched the careers of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, this by turns witty and deeply tender drama stars the former as Will Hunting, a headstrong South Boston boy and janitor at MIT who also happens to be a natural-born mathematics genius. Despite his gifts, Will remains fiercely loyal to his blue-collar roots, preferring drinking and carousing with his friend Chuckie (Affleck) to the stuffy world of academia. When a professor (Stellan Skarsgård) takes an interest in Will, he enlists a sympathetic psychologist (Robin Williams) to help the young man break through the deep-seated traumas holding him back—but is Will ready to change?
