The film stars Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman. It is the story of an under-appreciated boxing trainer, and his quest for atonement in helping an amateur female boxer (the film's title character) achieve her fragile dream of becoming a professional.

A retired boxer played by Clint Eastwood runs a gym in Los Angeles with another former fighter (Morgan Freeman). Dunn's still troubled by his painful estrangement from his daughter, and he's surprised when a female boxer, Maggie walks into his gym and asks him to train her.

Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank), a poor thirty-one years old waitress from the very lower classes and with a dysfunctional loser family, decides to make a difference through the box. She convinces the experienced hardened box trainer Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood) to coach her and be her manager, with the support of his old partner Eddie (Morgan Freeman), who sees her potential as a boxer. Frankie has a problem of relationship with his daughter, and practically adopts Maggie along her career. Winner of 4 oscars last year for best picture, best actress (Hilary Swank), best director (Clint Eastwood), and best supporting actor (Morgan Freeman).
