Storyline:
This biopic focuses on the relationship of Ernie Davis (1939-1963), a gifted African-American athlete, and his coach from 1958 to 1962 at Syracuse University, Ben Schwartzwalder (1909-1993). Schwartzwalder recruits Davis with the help of All-American running back, Jim Brown. The civil rights movement is gaining steam; Davis experiences prejudice on campus, in town, and on the field, sometimes from teammates. How he handles it and how he challenges Schwartzwalder to stand up for his players provide a counterpoint to several great seasons that lead first to a national championship and then to the Heismann Trophy.

Good family movie I enjoyed the content and actors. I would recommend it to friends and family.

Great movie! One of the better sports movies with very realistic action football scenes. It was all very believable and helped in telling this powerful story. The film provides great insight into the life of Syracuse great Ernie Davis, as well as what our country was going through at the time. The movie depicts how Ernie is a true inspiration to all of us and how we should live our lives. I highly recommend the film and look forward to owning the DVD."

I really enjoyed this movie because Rob Brown did a very good job of playing Ernie Davis.

Truly, this is a must see movie!! It was funny, engaging and tragic. It was sad that a story so much like a movie had to be so factual. This is a movie that both a blind and deaf person would become begiled by the story line and the great acting. The movie brought "Remember the Titans" to mind but is was far more enjoyable. You become one with this humble and gifted athlete who is so different when compared to the highly paid "showboats" of today!! It was so hard to believe how difficult things were for minorities 50 years ago. Compare that time with one in which a man of color may actually become the President of this great Nation. This movie was "all that a bag of chips and a case of Snapple to go"!!! See it, I promise you that you will leave proud, sad and with tear streaked cheeks!!! Enjoy it, I did!!
