About This Item
Inspired by the true story, Jim Caviezel (THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST) plays high school football coach Bob Ladouceur during the season that changed everything. As coach of the Spartans Football Team, Bob always tells his players that winning doesn't matter. Yet somehow, with the aid of assistant coach Terry Eidson (Michael Chiklis, TV's THE SHIELD), he's led the team to a record-breaking 151 straight victories. When his wife Bev (Laura Dern, JURASSIC PARK) urges him to refocus on his family, Bob is blinded by the pressure to keep the streak alive. Now, in the midst of a season of crisis and tragedy when the Spartans stand to lose everything, a remarkable young player (Alexander Ludwig, THE HUNGER GAMES) helps Bob rediscover that teamwork outshines personal glory WHEN THE GAME STANDS TALL.
