42 is a 2013 American biographical sports film about baseball player Jackie Robinson, the first black athlete to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) during the modern era. Written and directed by Brian Helgeland, the film stars Chadwick Boseman as Robinson, alongside Harrison Ford, Nicole Beharie, Christopher Meloni, André Holland, Lucas Black, Hamish Linklater and Ryan Merriman in supporting roles.[3] The title of the film is a reference to Robinson’s jersey number, which was retired across all MLB teams in 1997. The project was announced in June 2011, with principal photography taking place in Macon and Atlanta Film Studios Paulding County in Hiram as well as in Alabama and Chattanooga, Tennessee.
