Indeed, "Good Will Hunting" is the rare movie that delivers on both the commercial and critical front, and there's been little else quite like it since its release, especially in how it so adroitly balances the raw, often harsh realities of urban life with a humanitarian sense of hope. Damon and his co-writer and co-star Ben Affleck were both awarded the Oscar for best original screenplay, while Williams won for best supporting actor. The story of a mathematical genius (Matt Damon) from South Boston who defers his prosecution by agreeing to see a therapist (Robin Williams), "Good Will Hunting" is a profoundly human, tender, and heartwarming account of one young genius' coming of age. "Good Will Hunting" was one of 1997's most successful movies, grossing nearly $138 million at the domestic box office against a meager $10 million budget.
