Synopsis:
This must-see film features a rousing performance by Academy Award (R) winner Denzel Washington (2001 Best Actor, TRAINING DAY). Experience a celebration of how a town torn apart by resentment, friction, and mistrust comes together in triumphant harmony. The year is 1971. After leading his team to 15 winning seasons, football coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton) is demoted and replaced by Herman Boone (Washington), tough, opinionated, and very different from the beloved Yoast. How these two men overcome their differences and turn a group of hostile young men into champions, plays out in a remarkable and winning story!
