Good Will Hunting is a 1997 drama film directed by Gus Van Sant and starring Matt Damon, Robin Williams, Ben Affleck, Minnie Driver, and Stellan Skarsgård. Written by Affleck and Damon, and with Damon in the title role, the film follows 20-year old South Boston laborer Will Hunting, a genius who is forced to see a therapist—played by Williams—and study advanced mathematics with a renowned professor—played by Skarsgård—in order to avoid jail time. Through his therapy sessions, Will reevaluates his relationships with his best friend—played by Affleck—and his girlfriend—played by Driver—while confronting his emotional issues and making decisions about his future.
