The film is based on a screenplay written by Oscar winners Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin. The story is based on the true events of Billy Beane, the general manager of the professional baseball club Oakland Athletics, who became famous for his economic-statistical analysis of the game of baseball and tried to revolutionize his club and the sport itself by using computer analysis in the selection of players. This method allowed him to run his team in the most efficient financial way and to find himself in a league with much richer clubs. Beane is still the general manager and minority owner of the Athletics, who play in the American professional league MLB.
