FAR FROM THE ASHES WE ROSE.
When the entire college football team of Huntington, West Virginia is killed in a plane crash, the town faces hurdles in their attempt to build a new team.Ā A film based on the inspiring story of how Marshall University found their way back to success on the football field after the horrific crash in 1970, engagingly directed by the guy who previously bored us with theĀ Charlieās AngelsĀ movies. McG illustrates the emotions involved quite well; the cast is wisely chosen. There is of course a football game in the end that becomes pretty excitingā¦ but if you canāt take clichĆ©s, be warned.
2006-U.S. 124 min. Color. Widescreen.Ā Directed byĀ McG.Ā Cast:Ā Matthew McConaughey (Jack Lengyel), Matthew Fox (Red Dawson), David Strathairn (Don Dedman), Anthony Mackie, Ian McShane, Kate Maraā¦ January Jones, Robert Patrick.
