Film - The Express
The sign of a good sports film to me is if a non sports fan of the particular sport featured likes the film. This was the case for me with "The Express", despite the fact that I would rather watch paint dry than suffer through American Football I thought this was a great film.
Plot
----
Rob Brown stars in the true story of Ernie Davis, the first African American to win football's Heisman Trophy. Dubbed the "Elmira Express" for his relentless drive, Davis also lived up to the nickname off the field as he battled for racial equality. Dennis Quaid co-stars as Syracuse's Ben Schwartzwalder, the coach who teaches Davis the game and in return learns much from Brown's bold civil rights achievements.
