From the producers of
The Rookie and
Remember the Titans comes an inspirational
sports drama detailing the true story of a down-on-his-luck football fan whose dreams of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the best of the gridiron became a once-in-a-lifetime reality when he took part in an open tryout organized by Philadelphia Eagles coach
Dick Vermeil.
Vince Papale (
Mark Wahlberg) was a 30-year-old substitute teacher and part-time bartender who had never even played college football. When
Coach Vermeil (
Greg Kinnear) made the unprecedented announcement that he would be holding open tryouts for
the Philadelphia Eagles,
Papale would go against incredible odds to live the dream and experience every fan's biggest fantasy. With a position on
the Eagles secured and a new life path forged out of little more than determination and persistence,
Papale takes to the field to experience the life-altering rush of running yards as a stadium full of cheering fans burst from their seats to support the hometown hero who proved it's never too late to take control of your own destiny.
