Uplifting sports drama based on a true story, directed by Hollywood filmmaker Mike Tollin. Set in a small town in South Carolina in the 1970s, the film stars Ed Harris as Harold Jones, a football coach at the local high school. When he invites mentally-challenged & socially-ostracised James ' Radio' Kennedy (Cuba Gooding Jr.) to help out with the football team, the other players are less than keen, but over time Radio's involvement with the team transforms him from a shy, troubled young man into a champion & local hero, inspiring not only his team but his whole community.
