Antwone Fisher is a 2002 American drama about a man who confronts his traumatic past with the support of a naval psychiatrist. The film is inspired by a true story, with Antwone Q. Fisher credited as the screenwriter. 

The movie was directed by Denzel Washington, marking his directing debut. He also stars as the psychiatrist, Jerome Davenport, alongside Hollywood newcomers Derek Luke, who played the title role (and personally knew the real Antwone Fisher), and ex-model Joy Bryant , as Fisher's girlfriend. It was produced by Denzel Washington, Nancy Paloian, and Todd Black, and features a soundtrack by Mychael Danna. 

Black was first inspired to make the movie upon hearing the story from Fisher, who was then working as a security guard at Sony Pictures Studios.
