The movie Legend of Bagger Vance is based on the 1995 book of the same title by Steven Pressfield, which in turn is roughly based on X. The characters “R. Junuh” played by Matt Damon and Bagger Vance played by Will Smith were also named after the characters/role in X. Plot of the movie is a down-and-out golfer attempts to recover his game and his life with help from a mystical caddie.
