In Virginia, high school football is a way of life, an institution revered, each game celebrated more lavishly than Christmas, each playoff distinguished more grandly than any national holiday. And with such recognition, comes powerful emotions. In 1971 high school football was everything to the people of Alexandria. But when the local school board was forced to integrate an all black school with an all white school, the very foundation of football's great tradition was put to the test.

This is certainly full of worthy thoughts and intentions; but, in the end, Americans just don't seem to understand that American football seems as bizarre to most of the world as Eton Fives. Go to Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media 12/28/2010

See more Aioros M @melchizedek777 Jul 18 Based on real life story, Denzel here was great, a movie that has the power to bring any people together, gritty, inspirational, uplifting, super emotional. See more Kyle M @RT77296778 Jul 4 With a brilliant script, passionate direction and strong performances transcending the factual story to thematically demonstrating unity by blending in inspirational heart and excellent humor, this not only became a successful formula for Disney’s subsequential sports films carrying the same flame but importantly one of the best good-natured films as well as one of the greatest and most uplifting in the genre that’s been influential for more than a decade. (A) See more James E. @JamesE167 Jun 26 A strong tale of over coming adversary. Emotions run deep with this one. See more KarthiK P. @madkarthi Jun 17 ​It is a fascinating and highly interesting sports film. I just thoroughly enjoyed the entire ride from start to finish. The emotional highs. the team building and the pure energy of the game make it a classic. ​But while watching this. it feels exactly like watching the original film for another movie. I mean the flim SYE is exactly like this. The whole concept of a divided group of youngsters coming together to fight for a common goal through a fierce sport is identical. I think Jakkana was heavily inspired by this flim when he made Sye. The training montages. the internal conflicts turning into deep friendships and that highstakes final match feel so similar.  See more Read all reviews
