The 1984 film The Natural sees Robert Redford's Roy Hobbs shot by Harriet Bird, a mysterious woman who targets him. We break down Harriet's reasoning.
The Natural had quite the surprising twist that saw Harriet Bird shoot Roy Hobbs before his big tryout with the Chicago Cubs. Directed by Barry Levinson from a screenplay by Roger Towne and Phil Dusenberry, The Natural was released in 1984, over 30 years after the novel of the same name by Bernard Malamud was published. The film received generally positive reviews, though it was criticized for its heavy-handedness.
