Columbia PicturesÂ’ Gridiron Gang tells the gritty and powerfully
emotional story of juvenile detention camp probation officer Sean
Porter (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), who, along with another
officer, Malcolm Moore (Xzibit), turns a group of hard core teenage
felons into a high school football team in four weeks. Confronted
with gang rivalries and bitter hatred between his teammates, Porter
teaches some hard lessons (and learns a few himself) as the kids
gain a sense of self-respect and responsibility.
In a world where 75% of these juvenile inmates return to prison or
meet with violent ends on the streets, Porter and Moore face
seemingly insurmountable barriers. No one wants to compete against
convicted criminals, but through relentless pursuit and a jolt of
inspiration, Porter and his team fight their way to redemption and
a second chance.
Based on a true story, Gridiron Gang sends out a message that one
man can make a difference and the most hopeless kids in our society
can change the course of their lives through hard work, commitment
and bold leadership.
