Plot Summary: | | |
A sports drama inspired by a true story about a man who had nothing to lose, and pushed to make his dreams come true. When the coach of Vince Papale's beloved hometown football team hosted an unprecedented open tryout, the public consensus was that it was a waste of time—no one good enough to play professional football was going to be found this way. Certainly no one like Papale—a down-on-his-luck, 30-year-old, substitute teacher and part-time bartender who never even played college football. But against these odds, Papale made the team and soon found himself living every fan's fantasy—moving from his cheap seats in the upper deck to standing on the field as a professional football player.
