About

For ex-ballplayer Billy Wyatt (Mark Harmon), whose drive never matched his big-league prospects, the high point of his life was the summer of 1964. Decades later, Billy returns home to recall the past – and the person who made it special. Harmon and Jodie Foster star in Stealing Home, a bittersweet story “beautifully written á la Moonstruck” in which “you’ll spend a couple of hours lost in a wonderful world” (Bill Cosford, Miami Herald). As a burnout seeking redemption, Chicago Hope’s Harmon hits the mark as the older Billy, and the luminous Foster sparkles as Katie, the friend and mentor who vibrantly draws the loose ends of Billy’s past and present together. Buoyed by a marvelous golden-oldies soundtrack, Stealing Home is a warm, wistful memory-lane journey.
