We Are Marshall

"We Are Marshall" tells an inspiring true story set in Huntingdon, 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 "Thunder 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 Huntingdon 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 (Matthew McConaughey), a young coach who was determined to rebuild Marshall's football program and, in the process, helped to heal a community.

    Thunder Herd

    This is a really great film. I think the movie has captured the real sense of how this tragic accident affected this town and it was dealt with very well.

    A good movie well worth watching. You don’t need any prior knowledge of American football but it do’s help.

    yeah America, yeah!

    If you studied in the States and went to Marshall University, you'll like this film as you can say 'oh, I've been there' several times. If you like American football and like American football movies, you'll like this film.

    If none of the above, I'd maybe not bother. Typical American sports movie.
