This true story concerns Ernie Davis (Rob Brown), an African-American man who grows up poor but gets past many social and racial hurdles in order to be a running back in a New York high school. His coach, Ben Schwartzwalder (Dennis Quaid), acts as a second father to Ernie as the athlete becomes more famous. Many triumphs and tragedies occur over the years, as Ernie becomes a symbol in the 1960s for civil rights and plays college football. Eventually, he is the first black athlete to win a Heisman Trophy, having overcome the racism and arrogance which had been directed towards him.
