In Virginia, high school football is a way of life, an institution revered, each game celebrated more lavishly than Christmas, each playoff distinguished more grandly than any national holiday. And with such recognition, comes powerful emotions. In 1971 high school football was everything to the people of Alexandria. But when the local school board was forced to integrate an all black school with an all white school, the very foundation of football's great tradition was put to the test.

Roger Clarke Independent (UK) This is certainly full of worthy thoughts and intentions; but, in the end, Americans just don't seem to understand that American football seems as bizarre to most of the world as Eton Fives. Rated: 2/5 Mar 26, 2024 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Inspiring football drama brings history to life. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Richard Schickel TIME Magazine Maybe it's all true. But one is always a little discomfited when life, or a movie, imitates weary melodramatic patterns this slavishly. Jul 31, 2008 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) Every lad is a stereotype, every sporting cliché is trundled out. Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies The beating heart of the story is still powerful and pertinent which makes this film not only highly watchable entertainment but a thought-provoking (and hopefully in some ways enlightening) crowdpleaser. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) So don't bring along your binoculars, folks, because you will be able to spot what is coming from some distance away.

Movie T. Today marks the 25th Anniversary of one of the greatest football — and sports — movies ever made. 🏈 Its powerful message is just as relevant today as it was when it first hit theaters. If you love football — or simply love stories about the strength of the human spirit — this is an absolute must-watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 53 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG for Thematic Elements and Some Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $115,800,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Leaburn O Schmaltzy and overscripted, it is just a running cliché of a film that screams early noughties desperation. Some of the actors are decent enough to elevate the film to mediocrity in spite of the screenplay. I’ll forget the Titans pretty quickly. Watched on DVD. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Angelina D. This movie came out when I was in high school, it made such an impression on me and is still my favorite movie to this day! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/25 Full Review Guy C Great film about the first mixed school and the football team that taught a story of tolerance and giving your best with Denzel Washinton as Coach Boone Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/25 Full Review Tyler S Such a simple yet complicated story. Really unfortunate to see stuff like this, but the story was told really well. Really wanna praise Denzel here as well. He played the role of Herman Boone soooooo well.
