Short description
Rick Penning lives life just like he plays rugby; fast, hard-hitting and intense. When life on the edge lands him in jail, prison ward Marcus Tate offers him a chance to get back in the game by playing for his rival, Highland Rugby. Reluctantly Rick joins the team where he must adopt the grueling training schedule that Coach Gelwix enforces, or finish out the season behind bars.
What's left behind the scenes
- Bingham was named in honor of Mark Bingham, a player and founder of San Francisco Fog, who died in the September 11th attacks. A rugby tournament in his honor is held every two years.
- A total of 21 years were spent preparing for the filming.
- To prepare for the role, Sean Faris ran 10 kilometers twice a day in 40-degree heat.
- The championship-winning team consists of Māori players, which is evident from their shouts and body patterns. Māori are the indigenous people of New Zealand. Rugby is the national sport in New Zealand.
- The film is based on real events, and the main characters are based on real people who participated in the events described.
