The movie begins at the height of the team’s winning streak and its soul crushing end, and we watch as the players slowly rebuild their shattered confidence. But for Bob, he is forced to deal with his own mortality when he suffers a heart attack, which puts his coaching career and the team’s sterling reputation in jeopardy.

The press day for When The Game Stands Tall recently took place in Los Angeles and while there, we got to talk not only with Jim Caviezel and Michael Chiklis, but also with Alexander Ludwig and Ser’Darius Blain, who play two football players that have a lot riding on their last season.
