"If you ever disrespect my wife again, I will end you. I will f'ing end you. You got that, chief?" – Sean Maguire

Why watch this? ... it's layered and powerful - Williams, Damon, and an incredible script.

Plot Summary: Will Hunting is a gifted but troubled young man from South Boston who works as a janitor at MIT. After solving a challenging math problem left on a blackboard, Will's extraordinary intelligence is discovered by a professor. To avoid jail time for his reckless behavior, Will agrees to work with the professor and attend therapy sessions with an empathetic psychologist who helps him confront his past and unlock his potential.
 

Dad's Preview: This one of Robin Williams' greatest performances (he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor). It was this film, and its screenplay, that catapulted Affleck and Damon onto Hollywood's radar. However, the film is carried by the relationship between Damon, a boy genius, and Williams, a honest psychiatrist who searches for a way to reach a boy who specializes in out-witting those around him. When these two are on screen, you can cannot look away. You hang on every word.
