The business is going overseas and is driving hard to expand the enterprise. However, there’s a massive snag.

Do they stage a coup against the big boss and take action into their own hands, or do they hold steady and risk losing the entire empire?

While known for his eccentric comedic roles, Robin Williams delivered an incredibly dramatic and heartfelt performance as therapist Sean, earning him a well-deserved Academy Award. Alongside him, a then-fledgling Matt Damon paired his own brilliant writing with a breakout performance that helped launch him into becoming one of Hollywood’s most sought-after leading men.

Will Hunting is an unrecognized math genius working as an MIT janitor. To avoid jail after a brawl, he agrees to study advanced mathematics and attend therapy. Guided by a compassionate psychologist, Will confronts his deep-seated childhood trauma, embraces his extraordinary potential, and finally opens his heart to love.
