Matthew McConaughey and Matthew Fox star as two men determined to rebuild a football team and heal a community in the deeply moving drama We Are Marshall. On the evening of Saturday, 14 November 1970, a jet carrying the Marshall University football team, coaches and fans, crashes in the Appalachian Mountains. Now, university president Dedmon plans to end the school's football program for the season--perhaps indefinitely. Assistant coach Red Dawson, who narrowly missed the ill-fated flight, can't face going back onto the field . But in this small town, football is a way of life. And with the strength and leadership of young, outsider coach Jack Lengyel (Matthew McConaughey--Frailty), the town and the university rally to rebuild a football team and to heal a community. This season, it doesn't matter whether Marshall wins or loses. It doesn't even matter how they play the game .. All that matters was that they play.
