Synopsis
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stars in this uplifting true story, inspired by the documentary of the same name, of detention centre probation officer Sean Porter who creates a high-school-level football team from a ragtag group of dangerous teenage inmates as a way to teach them self-respect and social responsibility. Overcoming almost universal resistance from the powers that be Porter proves that sometimes second chances can make a difference. Inspired by filmmaker Jac Flanders' 1993 documentary of the same name, Gridiron Gang features a screenplay penned by In the Line of Fire scribe Jeff Maguire, and a supporting cast that includes Deadwood's Leon Rippy and Detroit-born rapper-turned-actor Xzibit also star.
