Akeelah is a charming but insecure 11-year-old girl from South Central Los Angeles who discovers, by chance, that she has an unlikely talent for spelling. She is encouraged to enter the spelling bee competition circuit to represent her failing school, with a chance to make it to the National finals. Helping her along the way is the brilliant but disgruntled Dr Larabee, while her overworked mother, on the other hand, is more reluctant about letting her daughter compete. Up against children from the most prestigious schools and with pressure and expectations mounting, Akeelah has to find a way of believing in herself.
