It's an inspiring football film and an inspiring social drama. While it's saddled with predictable elements, it also has tremendous strengths, benefiting from strong performances by the leads. .
Based on actual events that took place in 1971, this is about racial tensions in the U.S. south. Herman Boone is a Virginia high school football coach, as is Bill Yoast. During the painful period of racial integration at the beginning of the 1970s, the two join together with force, a school that had been all black and the other all white. When Herman Boone gets the job over Yoast as head coach of the school's popular Titans football team, there are layers of complication and conflict - between the two men, among the players, and within the entire restless community. .
.
Herman Boone's mission is to forge a winning team out of a group of boys divided by racial prejudice and intolerance. Having been given the position over coach Bill Yoast, who had several years' seniority and the support of the town, Coach Boone finds himself in the middle of a very hostile situation. Herman Boone decides to take the players on a two-week boot camp far away from the town. .
Bill Yoast, and his football-obsessed daughter Sheryl, initially plan on sitting out that year of football until he can get another head coaching job. But, the sight of his players refusing to play football and throwing away all they had worked for changes Yoast's mind. He stays on to coach the defence and, in the back of his mind, wait for coach Boone to fail, and there's every reason to expect he will.
Here he drills them on both the rigors of football and need for team unity, by forcing them to live and work together. His unusual tactics begin to make headway until finally the whole team is singing emotional songs together. This newfound harmony is quickly challenged, however, when the players return to school only to find the town violently torn apart by integration.
