Get the tissues ready, 42 is a real tearjerker. 42 is the story of Jackie Robinson, the legendary baseball player who broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier when he joined the roster of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Harrison Ford is on the top of his game as innovative Dodger’s general manager Branch Rickey. Rickey was the MLB executive who first signed Robinson to the minors and then helped to bring him up to the show. Chadwick Boseman delivers a career-making performance as Robinson, the heroic African American who was the first man to break the color line in the big leagues.
