WE ARE MARSHALLl - IN THEATERS December 15th
Based on true events, “We Are Marshall” tells the inspiring story of how a small town in West Virginia struggled to cope with a devastating loss and restore their community after one of the worst disasters in the history of American sports.
On the evening of Saturday, November 14, 1970, a chartered jet carrying Marshall University’s football team, coaches and fans, was on its way home from a hard-fought game in North Carolina. Less than a minute before its scheduled landing at Tri-State Airport, the plane crashed in the Appalachian Mountains, killing everyone aboard: 37 players, eight coaches and university staff, the flight crew, and 25 prominent Huntington citizens who had made the trip as they always did to cheer their “Thundering Herd.”

In the aftermath of this stunning tragedy, university president Donald Dedmon (DAVID STRATHAIRN) prepared to suspend the school’s football program for the season—perhaps indefinitely. Assistant coach Red Dawson (MATTHEW FOX), who narrowly missed the ill-fated flight, couldn’t face going back onto the field.

But in Huntington, Marshall football has always been more than a sport: it’s a way of life. And this town would rally to save it.

After some initial setbacks, they found hope and strength in the leadership of outsider Jack Lengyel (MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY), a young coach determined to rebuild Marshall’s football program and, in the process, help to heal the community.

Less than a year later, on September 18, 1971, Marshall University’s brand new Thundering Herd was poised to stage one of the greatest comebacks in collegiate sports. A raw, youthful and inexperienced squad, patched together under the guidance of Lengyel and Dawson, they would defy overwhelming odds just to march onto the gridiron for the school’s first game since the accident.

That season, it didn’t matter whether Marshall won or lost. It didn’t even matter how they played the game. All that mattered was that they played.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Thunder Road Film/Wonderland Sound and Vision production of a McG Film, “We Are Marshall,” starring Matthew McConaughey (“Failure to Launch”), Matthew Fox (ABC’s “Lost”), Ian McShane (Golden Globe Award winner, “Deadwood”), Anthony Mackie (“Million Dollar Baby”), Kate Mara (“Brokeback Mountain”), January Jones (“The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada”), Brian Geraghty (“Jarhead”) and David Strathairn (Oscar nominee, “Good Night, and Good Luck.”).

It is produced by Basil Iwanyk (“Firewall”) and McG, with Brent O’Connor (“Scooby Doo 2”), Jeanne Allgood, Thomas Tull (“Superman Returns”) and Scott Mednick (“Superman Returns”) serving as executive producers.
