"All the characters dream of different things," notes Dakota Fanning, who stars as Cale, the young girl whose belief in an injured racehorse puts her dreams into action. "My character dreams of being around horses with her father, to see her horse, Soñador, race to victory and, most of all, to help her family."

Cale's dreams turn into an unwavering faith in Soñador, and it is that faith that causes her father, played by Kurt Russell, to ignore his better judgment and put everything he has into rehabilitating the injured filly, who shows her own brand of courage.
