Finding Forrester is a 2000 American drama film directed by Gus Van Sant and written by Mike Rich. In the film, a black teenager, Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown), is invited to attend a prestigious private high school. By chance, Jamal befriends a reclusive writer, William Forrester (Sean Connery), through whom he refines his talent for writing and comes to terms with his identity. Anna Paquin, F. Murray Abraham, Michael Pitt, Glenn Fitzgerald, April Grace, Busta Rhymes, and Charles Bernstein star in supporting roles.
Although the film is not based on a true story, film critics have compared the character portrayed by Connery with real-life writer J. D. Salinger.[3][4] Connery later acknowledged that the inspiration for his role was indeed Salinger.[5]
