It was only a matter of time before this tragic and inspiring story made it to film. A plane crash carrying virtually every member of the Marshall University football team and coaching staff is the most tragic event in the history of sports in the U.S. The story of how the students of the university rallied together and how a football team came together in the aftermath is truly inspiring. While it’s not the quality of filming and storytelling that puts this in the pantheon of great sports movies, it was a good film with a very redemptive outcome.
