Overview

• Angel Studios launches the Rod Lurie film inspired by 59-year-old Mike Flynt’s 2007 return to Sul Ross State University football.
• Critics describe the movie as a conventional, crowd-pleasing sports drama anchored by themes of faith, family and redemption.
• Chiklis says he performed nearly all the football scenes himself, with only a handful handled by a stuntman.
• The real Mike Flynt visited the set and appears in end-credits footage that contextualizes his comeback with archival material.
• Mary Stuart Masterson, Rob Corddry, Brandon Flynn and James Badge Dale co-star, from a screenplay by Robert Eisele with production by Select Films and Wayfarer Studios.
