The Fan (1996)

In the heart of San Francisco, Gil Renard, a passionate baseball aficionado and knife salesman, finds his world revolving around the game of baseball and his hometown heroes, the Giants. When the Giants sign the celebrated all-star center-fielder, Bobby Rayburn, with a staggering $40 million contract, Gil's obsession takes a new and dangerous turn. Rayburn, buckling under the weight of his new contract, grapples with a career-worst slump. Gil, meanwhile, finds his own life spiraling out of control as he loses his job, and with it, his wife and son. Undeterred, Gil dives deeper into his fixation with Rayburn, convinced that the player's poor performance is a result of a rival teammate's success. In a misguided attempt to help Rayburn, Gil clandestinely interferes in the Giants' dynamics. However, when his efforts go unappreciated, Gil's obsession morphs into a perilous desperation. He kidnaps Rayburn's son, Sean, turning the final game of the season into a high-stakes thriller. Now, Rayburn must overcome his slump and play the best game of his life to save his son. The Fan is a gripping tale exploring the dark side of obsession, the pressure of performance, and the thrilling, unpredictable game of baseball. It's a race against time, where the roar of the crowd, the crack of the bat, and one man's dangerous fixation collide in a game where more than just the championship is on the line.
