Why Robin Williams Fans Will Like It: Robin Williams won his first and only Academy Award for his portrayal of Sean Maguire in this 1997 coming of age story about a genius from the other side of the tracks.
Unlike the roles he was taking at the time, Good Will Hunting gave Williams the chance to push himself to his limits.
What It’s About: Will Hunting (Matt Damon) finds himself on a life-altering journey after he completes a difficult math problem while on a janitorial shift at MIT.
Through interactions with an acclaimed mathematician (Stellan Skarsgård) and a therapist (Robin Williams), as well as his friends in South Boston, the young genius discovers his true potential.
