About the film:
Jimmy "Dodge" Connelly (George Clooney) is the team captain of the
Bulldogs in the struggling pro football league in 1925. The entire pro
football league is in danger of collapsing, one team at a time, and his
team is next. Dodge gets an idea of saving the team by recruiting a
college football star who fills the college stadium with over 45,000
cheering fans. With the lure of big money, Dodge is able to convince
Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski) to drop out of college and join the
team. Carter is not only a star football player who can outrun his
completion, but he is also a national war hero of WWI who
single-handedly captured a platoon of German soldiers. Lexie Littleton
(Renee Zellweger) is a newspaper journalist assigned to get Carter's
real inside story about the capture of the German soldiers. To get the
story, Lexie must travel with the team, and in time, both Carter and
Dodge fall for her. Only one will win her love as the fourth quarter
comes to an end.
Several years ago a group of concerned citizens in lower Westchester organized to save the 1920s Pelham Picture House, now listed on the NY State Register of Historic Places, from the wrecking ball. The Picture House will be restored and renovated to become a three-screen, state-of-the-art film and education center over the next few years and will entertain audiences with great movies – indies, foreign films, classics, shorts, animated films and documentaries from around the world. By inviting, actors, directors, producers, screen writers, and film critics to discuss their work, we bring the back lot to our front door.
