Summary
:
American Pastime tells a poignant story set against the Japanese-American internment camps during World War II. Built to house Japanese-American citizens whose loyalties stood questioned by the pressures of war, these camps created many hardships for their internees. Rounded up and uprooted from their everyday lives, they remained loyal to the United States and ironically turned to that most American of sports - baseball - as a way to deal with their plight. Based on true events, the film stars Gary Cole (Talladega Nights, Dodgeball, TV's The West Wing) as a minor-leaguer and guard at the Topaz Internment Camp that, amidst all the conflict, is hoping for one last shot at the Major Leagues.
