About this product

Product Information

In 1950, most Americans had only a passing familiarity with the game of football, even though it was the world's most popular sport, and few athletes in the United States played the game with any particular degree of expertise. However, when an invitation was extended to the United States to participate in the World Cup tournament in Brazil Bill Jeffrey was determined that America participate. In less than two weeks, Jeffrey assembled a team comprised mostly of players from St. Louis and the East Coast, with immigrants from Haiti, Portugal, and Scotland filling out the ranks. Against all odds, the Americans not only made it to the World Cup games, but defeated the British team in the greatest upset of the 1950 games. THE GAME OF THEIR LIVES is a sports drama based on the remarkable true story of the 1950 United States team.

Additional InformationIn 1950, most Americans had only a passing familiarity with the game of football, even though it was the world's most popular sport, and few athletes in the United States played the game with any particular degree of expertise. However, when an invitation was extended to the United States to participate in the World Cup tournament in Brazil -- the international soccer championship held every four years -- Bill Jeffrey was determined that America participate. In less than two weeks, Jeffrey assembled a team comprised mostly of players from St. Louis (where soccer had developed a small but loyal following) and the East Coast (where the game gained a foothold on college campuses), with immigrants from Haiti, Portugal, and Scotland filling out the ranks. Against all odds, the Americans not only made it to the World Cup games, but defeated the British team (favoured by many to win the championship) in the greatest upset of the 1950 games. THE GAME OF THEIR LIVES is a sports drama based on the remarkable true story of the 1950 United States team, featuring John Rhys-Davies as Bill Jeffrey, Wes Bentley as team leader Walter Bahr, Gerard Butler as goalie Frank Borghi, Jimmy Jean-Louis as Joe Gaetiens, a dishwasher born in Haiti who found his way onto the team, and Patrick Stewart as a journalist covering the games. David Anspaugh, who made the acclaimed basketball drama BEST SHOT, directed.

  • Great

    The movie is a really good film. The characters are amazing and the true story behind it is amazing as well. The main character Gerard Butler did an excellent job at his role along with all the other actors. It really goes into dept with the story. It is a movie you must see even if you don't like old films it will grip onto you and never leave you.
