English Summary:

Million Dollar Baby is a 2004 American sports drama film directed, co-produced, and scored by Clint Eastwood from a screenplay written by Paul Haggis, based on short stories by F.X. Toole, the pen name of fight manager and cutman Jerry Boyd. It stars Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman. The film follows Margaret "Maggie" Fitzgerald (Swank), an underdog amateur boxer who is helped by an underappreciated boxing trainer (Eastwood) to achieve her dream of becoming a professional.

Margaret "Maggie" Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank), a waitress from a Missouri town in the Ozarks, shows up in the Hit Pit, a run-down Los Angeles gym owned and operated by Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood), an old, cantankerous boxing trainer. Maggie asks Frankie to train her, but he initially refuses. Maggie works out tirelessly each day in his gym, even after Frankie tells her she's "too old" to begin a boxing career at her age. Eddie "Scrap-Iron" Dupris (Morgan Freeman), Frankie's friend and employee—and the film's narrator—encourages and helps her.

Frankie's prize prospect, "Big Willie" Little, signs with successful manager Mickey Mack after becoming impatient with Frankie rejecting offers for a championship bout. With prodding from Scrap and impressed with her persistence, Frankie reluctantly agrees to train Maggie. He warns her that he will teach her only the basics and then find her a manager. Other than Maggie and his employees, the only person Frankie has contact with is a local priest, with whom he spars verbally at daily Mass.

Hungarian Summary:

A csalódott bokszedző, Frankie Dunn utolsó reménye is elvész, amikor nehézsúlyú tanítványa a címmeccs előtt egy jobban fizető menedzserhez szegődik. Frankie lepusztult edzőtermébe csak balekok járnak, barátja csupán a teremben élő veterán bokszoló, akinek utolsó meccsén kiverték a fél szemét, lányával pedig hiába próbál kapcsolatba kerülni évtizedek óta, levelei olvasatlanul érkeznek vissza. A mogorva edzőt ráadásul egy fiatal lány, Maggie is folyton azzal zaklatja, hogy legyen a trénere. Frankie eleinte hallani sem akar róla, hogy a lányt, "egy nőt!" edzzen, de ahogy az lenni szokott, végül is vállalja ezt a szégyent, és persze meg sem állnak a világbajnoki címmérkőzésig.
