About this product
Product Information
- GLORY ROAD is about more than a college basketball team in the mid-1960s playing its way to the championship: it is the true story of a coach and his team taking a stand against discrimination in order to play their best game. As the new men's basketball coach at Texas Western, Don Haskins has one goal: to win. At a time when most Southern universities had few black players on their teams and rarely played more than two at the same time, Haskins recruits an unprecedented seven black players for his team and often has three of them starting. His new additions have played on the streets of the South Bronx between breaks at a Detroit steel company, and added fancy moves with the hope of playing for the Harlem Globetrotters. In addition to adjusting to life at Texas Western in El Paso, the players have to integrate with their white teammates and face discrimination from all fronts: the school administration, donors and alumni, spectators, and random strangers, not to mention other basketball teams.To everyone's surprise, the underdog Miners take on team after team, making it all the way to the 1966 NCAA championships. In an historic NCAA final game against the University of Kentucky Wildcats, Haskins played the first all-black collegiate basketball starting lineup, in many ways opening new doors for black players everywhere. James Gartner's feature film directorial debut has impressive performances, great basketball action, snappy dialogue, and just the right amount of humor to complement the seriousness of its main subject. Most important, it pays tribute to an inspirational team and its coach, capturing a moment that changed the sport of basketball forever. Be sure to stick around through the credits to see interviews with the actual team members.

Absolutely SUPERB!!!
Glory Road Glory Road is another great Basketball film. I'm a sucker for these true story sports films, and Glory Road doesn't dissapointed. The cast is great, the acting and intensity is superb, and when they show clips of the actual game during the credits you really appreciate the effort the Cast and Crew put into making the Basketball scenes as realistic as possible. Glory Road is great from the get go, it's funny, heartwarming, and inspiring. Josh Lucas is awesome as CoachHaskins and Jon Voight is great as Coach Adolph Rupp. Derek Luke is just a good in this film as Bobby Joe Hill as he was in Friday Night Lights as Booby Miles. When you see the team photo at the end of the movie you realize how much work was put into finding the right actors to play the roles. Final Verdict: 5/5 Rent or Buy?: If you're a fan of true sports stories, sports movies in general, or basketball Glory Road belongs in your collection. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.Read full review

Glory Road-Review
This is an excellant Movie. It will keep your attention thru out the complete movie. With one heck of an ending. Glory Road is based on a true story. The story line of the movie is back when basketball were all white players, and one coach recruited several black players. The coach was a former HIgh School girls Basketball coach, that took on a job in El Paso, Coaching a low funded team, with no winnings. He had no funds to recruit, all he had to offer was playing the game and a scholarship. The coach takes a nobody College Basketball team and makes History with it. All the while he, and his players being ridiculed and shunned by the other coaches, the basketball fans and their own school's top funding source. Even if you do not like basketball, you will still enjoy this movie. Enjoy!

This would be a great story even if it was fiction....
I really enjoyed this movie... Not only was it a great story and well told -- but it is a reminder of how things used to be back in the 50's and 60's and how hard we made things for certain members of our society... But, it is also inspirational in how some people, working together and supporting each other can rise above the meanness of society and succeed.

Great movie/true story
The movie came fast and good shape. The movie. In its several shows the many trials people go thru and how awful people treat each other. Very good movie.
