This triumphant tale of a high school basketball teams' long-shot attempt to ascend to the State Championship is filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense and breathless excitement! Featuring "fast-break cinematography that catches the pace of the game" and intense, heart-rending performances from Gene Hackman, Barbara Hershey and Dennis Hopper. Hoosiers redefines the sports movie with a realism and frankness that make you believe in it's small town characters--and cheer for them over and over again. Hackman is Norman Dale, a basketball coach whose checkered past has him in a last-chance position with a last-chance team. Made to feel unwelcome by squad members, an icy fellow teacher [Hershey] and townspeople who nearly have him fired, Dale perseveres with a gritty demeanor and an unwavering passion for the game. But winning over the team is only half the battle in a world where small-town teams can end up playing big-time rivals...and a downtrodden outsider can rouse the pride of an entire county.
