Academy Award-winning drama written by and starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, directed by Gus Van Sant. Follows a mathematically gifted janitor at MIT who lacks the proper direction to escape his blue-collar life. Also stars Robin Williams (who won the Best Supporting Acting Oscar) and Minnie Driver.
Will Hunting (Damon) excels in maths and chemistry, a talent he fails to recognise. Despite the praise given to him by a highly distinguished professor in mathematics, Will cannot break his attachment to his South Boston working-class environment. But when empathetic psychologist Sean Maguire (Williams) takes notices of his potential, Will starts to build the momentum that could turn his life around.
