À propos de ce film

All his life, people have told Rudy he's not good enough, not smart enough, not big enough. But nothing can stop his impossible dream of playing football for Notre Dame. From the time he's a young boy, Rudy (Sean Astin) is determined to join the Fighting Irish. But his blue collar family only laughs at his ambitions - they know Rudy will follow his father and brothers to the local steel mill. And, for four long years after high school, he does just that. But some dreams won't die, as Rudy proves when he goes to heroic, occasionally hilarious, lengths to win admission to Notre Dame. Once there, he becomes a walk-on player, serving as little more than a human tackling dummy against the starting players. Bloodied but unbeaten, Rudy wins the respect of legendary coach Ara Parseghian and the other Irish players, who give him one shot at gridiron glory. An incredible true story from the creators of Hoosiers, RUDY is an unforgettable testament to the power of dreams and the triumph of the common man. MPAA Rating: PG © 1993 TriStar Pictures, Inc.

Notes et avis

too much hollywood portrayal... no real events, made him look like a hero more than he shouldve, watch the real documentry to find out more

For a somewhat simple movie. Not really an awakening experience however the actors worked hard at entertaining us for this typical played out story.

I saw a recent survey of favorite sports movies, and Rudy was at the top of the list, right up there with Hoosiers. It speaks powerfully about American values, determination and how much football means to Notre Dame. With the team now in the national championship, every Irish fan should see this movie.
