Starring Wes Bentley (American Beauty) and Gerard Butler (Phantom of the Opera)
and coming from the team that created the benchmark for all sports dramas, Hoosiers,
The Game of Their Lives tells the true story of the 1950 U.S. Soccer Team which,
against all odds, beat England 1-0 in one of the largest upsets and biggest triumphs
in U.S. sports history. Although no U.S. team has ever won a World Cup title,

this team of underdogs helped make them one of the best teams in all of American
sports. Also starring Patrick Stewart and John Rhys-Davies.
