Brief Synopsis: "Rudy grew up in a steel mill town where most people ended up working, but wanted to play football at Notre Dame instead. There were only a couple of problems. His grades were a little low, his athletic skills were poor, and he was only half the size of the other players. But he had the drive and the spirit of 5 people and has set his sights upon joining the team."

Bryan Lienesch93 - The classic underdog story. Sean Astin is far better in this than in any of his Lord of the Rings work.
