The Ringer - L'imbucato (2005)
Steve Barker ha un disperato bisogno di soldi. Per riuscire a racimolarne un po' decide di partecipare alle Paraolimpiadi simulando un handicap mentale. Gli altri atleti, veri disabili, si rendono subito conto che Steve è un 'impostore', ma decidono comunque di permettere la sua partecipazione ai giochi nella speranza di vedere finalmente sconfitto Jimmy, l'altezzoso campione in carica. Con il loro speciale programma di allenamento, insegnano a Barker a competere per l’oro olimpico e gli mostrano qual è il cuore di un vero vincitore.
