Dolphin Tale is inspired by the amazing true story of a brave dolphin and the compassionate strangers who banded together to save her life. Swimming free, a young dolphin is caught in a crab trap, severely damaging her tail. She is rescued and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named Winter. But her fight for survival has just begun. Without a tail, Winter's prognosis is dire. It will take the expertise of a dedicated marine biologist (Harry Connick Jnr), the ingenuity of a brilliant prosthetics doctor (Morgan Freeman, "Million Dollar Baby"), and the unwavering devotion of a young boy (Nathan Gamble) to bring about a groundbreaking miracle—a miracle that might not only save Winter but could also help scores of people around the world.
