The Netflix hit movie The Hill has a lesser-known connection to two of the best sports movies ever made. The Hill tells the miraculous true underdog story about real-life professional baseball player Rickey Hill, who defied all odds and expectations despite having a degenerative spine disease. The film, directed by Jeff Celentano (Breaking Point, Glass Jaw), was released in theaters back in August 2023 and debuted on Netflix on January 20, 2024, marking its first availability on any streaming service.
