Cobb 1994  R, 120 min.

This biography of one of baseball's greatest players uses his dark side as its focus. Tyrus Raymond Cobb (Tommy Lee Jones), the Georgia Peach, played baseball like few other players; he also lived life like few others. Bigoted psychopath is an apt description of this film that shows, through flashbacks, Cobb as he relates stories of his life to sportswriter Al Stump (Robert Wuhl). This is not a pretty story. Instead it shows how unbridled energy defined Cobb.

Plantation master Gideon Prosper's (Peter Fonda) wife has died, and he uses sorcery to distract himself from his grief. Gideon's brother, Anthony (John Glover), steals the land from Gideon, and, after trying to lynch Gideon, Anthony leaves him for dead. Gideon recovers and finds safety with his daughter, Miranda (Rachel Crouch), on a bayou island. Years pass, the Civil War is in progress, and Anthony is a Confederate spy. While Anthony is paddling a canoe nearby, Gideon uses his sorcery skills to cause a storm that capsizes the canoe. Anthony makes it to shore and shoots Gideon. Meanwhile, Miranda falls in love with a Union soldier, Capt. Frederick Allen (Eddie Mills), and they warn General Grant's troops about a trap set for them.
