Marshall University's football team's journey to recover after losing most of its players and coaches to a tragic plane crash in 1970.
Excellent movie about real life adversity. Wow, all these true stories are hard to write about. I thought Matthew McConaughy and Matthew Fox who played coaches, Jack Lengyel and Red Dawson, were great. I have heard some critics call it cheesy with all the football cliches, but frankly it was more about the people's struggle than about the football. Plus, what fun would the football scenes be without a little slow-motion tension.
My favorite parts of the movie:
characters
storytelling
4 out of 5 stars.
