Academy Award winner Denzel Washington (2001 TRAINING DAY - Best Actor; 1989 GLORY Best Supporting Actor) shines in REMEMBER THE TITANS now more stirring and uplifting than ever on Blu-ray Disc. Based on real events, this remarkable story celebrates how a town torn apart by friction and mistrust comes together in triumphant harmony. After leading his team to fifteen winning seasons, beloved football coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton) is demoted and replaced by tough, opinionated Herman Boone (Washington). How these two men overcome their differences and turn a group of hostile young men into champions is a remarkable portrait of courage and perseverance.
