Synopsis:
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and MTV's "Pimp My Ride" host,
Xzibit, star in a story based on actual events about the creation of
a football team within the confines of a juvenile detention camp.
"Gridiron Gang" tells the uplifting story of detention camp
probation officer Sean Porter (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson),
who creates a high-school-level football team from a ragtag group of
dangerous teenage inmates as a means to teach them self-respect and social
responsibility. He is joined in this experiment by co-worker, Malcolm
Moore (Xzibit).
But Porter must first overcome almost universal resistance from the powers
that be -- his skeptical bosses and coaches at rival high schools who
don't want their players mixing it up with convicted criminals on the
football field.
Based on the Emmy Award-winning 1993 television documentary by Lee and
Linda Stanley, the film chronicles the rise of the Camp Kilpatrick Mustangs
as they bond together to achieve the impossible: a chance to play in
their league's championship game.
