When the San Francisco Giants pay center-fielder, Bobby Rayburn $40 million to lead their team to the World Series, no one is happier or more supportive than #1 fan, Gil Renard. When Rayburn becomes mired in the worst slump of his career, the obsessed Renard decides to stop at nothing to help his idol regain his former glory—not even murder.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The film 'The Fan' is a thriller centered entirely around professional baseball and obsessive fandom. There is no indication in the plot or setting that Christmas is relevant to the narrative structure, themes, or resolution."
