We Are Marshall is about the 1970 Marshall football team that tragically perished in a plane crash. The movie focuses on how the town, the freshmen that played on the team and survivors for the team coped with the post-crash Marshall University. I really recommend watching this movie to anyone looking for a serious football movie. It really explains itself very well. One of the top 5 movies Ive seen this year (I realize it was in theaters late 2006).
