Based
on true events, “We Are Marshall” tells the inspiring story of how a
small town in West Virginia struggled to cope with a devastating loss
and restore their community after one of the worst disasters in the
history of American sports.
On the evening
of Saturday, November 14, 1970, a chartered jet carrying Marshall
University’s football team, coaches and fans, was on its way home from a
hard-fought game in North Carolina. Less than a minute before its
scheduled landing at Tri-State Airport, the plane crashed in the
Appalachian Mountains, killing everyone aboard: 37 players, eight
coaches and university staff, the flight crew, and 25 prominent
Huntington citizens who had made the trip as they always did to cheer
their “Thundering Herd.”
In the aftermath
of this stunning tragedy, university president Dedmon (DAVID STRATHAIRN)
prepared to suspend the school’s football program for the season—perhaps
indefinitely. Assistant coach Red Dawson (MATTHEW FOX), who narrowly
missed the illfated flight, couldn’t face going back onto the field.
But in
Huntington, Marshall football has always been more than a sport: it’s a
way of life.
And this town
would rally to save it. After some initial setbacks, they found hope and
strength in the leadership of outsider Jack Lengyel (MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY),
a young coach determined to rebuild Marshall’s football program and, in
the process, help to heal the community.
Less than a year
later, on September 18, 1971, Marshall University’s brand new Thundering
Herd was poised to stage one of the greatest comebacks in collegiate
sports. A raw, youthful and inexperienced squad, patched together under
the guidance of Lengyel and Dawson, they would defy overwhelming odds
just to march onto the gridiron for the school’s first game since the
accident.
That season, it
didn’t matter whether Marshall won or lost. It didn’t even matter how
they played the game. All that mattered was that they
played.
Warner Bros.

Road Film/Wonderland Sound and Vision production of a McG Film, “We Are

Anthony Mackie (“Million Dollar Baby”),
Kate Mara (“Brokeback Mountain”), January Jones (“The Three Burials
of Melquiades Estrada”), Brian Geraghty (“Jarhead”) and David Strathairn
(Oscar nominee, “Good Night, and Good Luck.”).
“We Are
Marshall” is directed by McG (the “Charlie’s Angels” films), from a
