Set
in
South
Carolina
and
spanning
almost
40
years
time
beginning
in
the
1960s,
RADIO
is
the
moving
story
of
the
friendship
between
a
mentally
disabled
man
(played
by
Cuba
Gooding
Jr.
in
adulthood)
and
the
high
school
football
coach
(Ed
Harris)
who
gives
him
guidance,
hope,
and
confidence.
Growing
up
in
the
all-American
small
town
of
Anderson,
South
Carolina,
"Radio"
is a
social
outcast
who
lives
a
lonely,
childish
existence.
He's
obsessed
with
his
transistor
radio
and
wanders
the
streets
with
a
shopping
cart
full
of
collected
junk.
Because
of
his
mental
disability,
Radio
is
misunderstood
by
the
local
townspeople
and
is
often
the
victim
of
mean-spirited
pranks.
After
the
local
high
school
football
team
plays
a
particularly
cruel
prank
on
the
naive
young
man,
the
team
coach
decides
to
mentor
Radio.
Coach
Jones
staunchly
supports
Radio
and
their
bond
becomes
unbreakable.
A
devoted
football
fan,
Radio
blossoms
under
the
unwavering
encouragement
of
the
Coach
and
becomes
the
team's
unofficial
mascot
and
cheerleader.
Ultimately
the
town
is
united
by
Radio's
innocence
and
basic
human
goodness
in
this
warmhearted
drama
inspired
by a
true
story.
