Synopsis
"We Are Marshall" tells an inspiring true story set in Huntington, West Virginia, a small town steeped in the rich tradition of college football. For decades, players, coaches, fans and families have come together to cheer on Marshall University's "Thundering Herd." For this team and this community, Marshall football is more than just a sport, it's a way of life. But on a fateful night in 1970, while traveling back to Huntington after a game in North Carolina, 75 members of Marshall's football team and coaching staff were killed in a plane crash. As those left behind struggled to cope with the devastating loss of their loved ones, the grieving families found hope and strength in the leadership of Jack Lengyel, a young coach who was determined to rebuild Marshall's football program and in the process helped to heal a community.
Critics' reviews
  • "An enjoyable time-waster, distinguished by an unexpectedly sharp comic turn by McConaughey"
  • "'We Are Marshall' is precisely what one expects from a true sports story: it's uplifting and inspiring
  • "Surprisingly restrained and undeniably entertaining. Read full review
  • "Equally thrilling and wrenching, the film is an absolute must for anyone who loves sports and an eloquent explanation for those who don't understand what the fuss is about"
  • "What should have been an inspirational story about fortitude and courage in the face of mind-numbing tragedy becomes a compendium of sports cliches"
  • "Marshall deserved better than this misbegotten tribute"
