Cuba Gooding Jr. turns in a powerful performance as real-life neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson in this moving made-for-TV movie from the TNT network. Directed by Thomas Carter (COACH CARTER), the biographical drama reveals Carson’s inspiring life story as a poor, inner-city youth who overcame great odds to become one of the world’s best surgeons thanks to the love of his determined single mother (played here by Kimberly Elise) and an unswerving Christian faith.
