We Are Marshall

When a plane crash killed 75 college athletes and their coaches one tragic November day in 1970, their schoolmates and loved ones were at a loss as to how to continue with life, much less football. "We Are Marshall" (2006) tells the extraordinary true story of their mass recovery from this unthinkable blow. Matthew McConaughey stars as the new coach whose uphill task is not just to rebuild a winning team from second-string players. He must find a way to connect himself and these people and instill a senseof hope in the town. David Strathairn, Matthew Fox, January Jones, Ian McShane and Kate Mara co-star in this inspiring story.
