About me:
An inspiring true story set in Huntington, West Virginia, a small town steeped in the rich tradition of college football. For decades, players, coaches, fans and families have come together to cheer on Marshall University..s ..Thundering Herd... For this team and this community, Marshall football is more than just a sport, it..s a way of life. But on a fateful night in 1970, while traveling back to Huntington after a game in North Carolina, 75 members of Marshall..s football team and coaching staff were killed in a plane crash. As those left behind struggled to cope with the devastating loss of their loved ones, the grieving families found hope and strength in the leadership of Jack Lengyel, a young coach who was determined to rebuild Marshall..s football program and, in the process, helped to heal a community.
We Are Marshall stars Matthew McConaughey as Jack Lengyel, the coach who leads Marshall University and the Huntington community from tragedy to triumph; Matthew Fox as assistant coach Red Dawson, who helps Lengyel rebuild the team after giving up his seat on the doomed flight to another member of the Marshall squad; and David Strathairn as the president of Marshall University, who attempts to restore the school's broken spirit against overwhelming odds. The film also co-stars Anthony Mackie as passionate team captain Nate Ruffin and Kate Mara as Marshall's head cheerleader Annie Cantrell.
The movie is based on an actual event that occurred in the 1970s, when the West Virginia-based Marshall University football team, most of its coaching staff, sports commentators, and many of its local boosters were killed in a plane crash. A determined coach and a small group of surviving players plant the seeds of future success as they struggle to deal with the loss of their friends, mentors and teammates.
