À propos de ce film

Small-town banker Jack Dundee (Robin Williams) has never been able to live down the fact that he dropped an important pass during a crucial high-school football game. Likewise tainted for life is the team's star quarterback Reno Hightower (Kurt Russell), now a garage owner. Fed up with living his life under a cloud, Jack hits upon a brilliant idea: he will stage a rematch-13 years after the fact with the members of the rival team. Trouble beckons when Jack's father-in-law announces that he's rooting for the opposition. Jack is determined to win, and in pursuit of that goal he pushes his former teammates to hitherto untapped brilliance.

Notes et avis

Fun movie to watch. Great feel good story with plenty of comedy and laugh out loud moments. Kurt Russell and Robin Williams are perfectly cast with great supporting actors around them to round out the story.

One of a few movies in the 80s that ran footage of an NFL game without licensing.

Great movie
