"An underdog tale that manages to inspire without being sappy."—Dana Stevens, The New York Times

In this family-friendly inspirational underdog story, eleven-year-old Akeelah Anderson (Keke Palmer) is determined to spell her way out of South Los Angeles and make it to the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. With a supportive tutor (Laurence Fishburne) coaching her, Akeelah may even show her pessimistic mother (Angela Bassett) she has what it takes to win.
