The game was added to the iOctavio.com database on the specific date of 2008-08-18. The narrative of this film is set against the backdrop of America’s nascent professional football league in the year 1925. The central protagonist is Dodge Connolly, a charming and brash football hero who is fiercely determined to guide his team away from the chaotic era of bar brawls and toward the prestige of packed stadiums. However, the team loses their sponsor and the entire league faces certain collapse, threatening the survival of the sport. Dodge decides that his latest move must be to convince a college football star to join his ragtag ranks, hoping that this new addition will help the struggling sport finally capture the country’s attention and secure its future.
The new champion that Dodge brings into the fold is Carter Rutherford, a man who is celebrated as America’s favorite son. Carter is a golden-boy war hero who single-handedly forced multiple German soldiers to surrender during World War One, and he possesses dashing good looks and unparalleled speed on the field. This new champ is almost too good to be true, which is precisely the situation that Lexie Littleton aims to prove. Lexie is a cub journalist playing in the big leagues, and she is a spitfire newswoman who suspects there are holes in Carter’s war story. While Lexie digs deeper into the past to uncover the truth about his heroic claims, the two teammates start to become serious off-field rivals for her fickle affections. As the new game of professional football becomes less like the freewheeling sport Dodge originally knew and loved, Dodge must fight on two critical fronts. He must both fight to keep his guys together as a cohesive team and fight to get the girl of his dreams, Lexie. Finding that love and football have a surprisingly similar playbook, Dodge has one final maneuver he will save just for the fourth quarter to win over both the league and the woman he desires.
