Game 6 is a film first presented at the Sundance Film Festival in 2005 and released in the United States in 2006. The film depicts the events of October 25, 1986 in the life of Nicky Rogan (Michael Keaton), specifically the opening of his latest play juxtaposed with Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, with a screenplay by Don DeLillo. The soundtrack was written and performed by Yo La Tengo.
The film is strikingly similar to DeLillo's White Noise; there's a toxic fume that the main character must escape from, a strong bond with a daughter, and Nicky discovers an escape from his obsession, the Boston Red Sox's failures, by attempting murder. In "White Noise" the fixation is with death, not failure. However, both murders are averted when the main characters are given epiphanies by the potential victims. There are also similarities to DeLillo's novel Cosmopolis. Coincidentally, Keaton was in a movie called White Noise, a movie unrelated to DeLillo's novel.
