Music, Mark Orton ; editor, James K. Crouch ; director of photography, David McFarland.Luke Wilson, Vinessa Shaw, Wayne Knight, Jake Austin Walker, Scott Haze, Levi Dylan, Jacob Lofland, Robert Duvall, Martin Sheen.The true story of the Mighty Mites, the football team of a Fort Worth orphanage who, during the Great Depression, went from playing without shoes, or even a football, to playing for the Texas state championships. Over the course of their winning season, these underdogs and their resilient spirit became an inspiration to their city, state, and an entire nation in need of a rebound, even catching the attention of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The architect of their success was Rusty Russell, a legendary high school coach who shocked his colleagues by giving up a privileged position so he could teach and coach at an orphanage. Few knew Rusty's secret: that he himself was an orphan. Recognizing that his scrawny players couldn't beat the other teams with brawn, Rusty developed innovative strategies that would come to define modern football.MPAA rating: PG-13; for violence, language, some suggestive references, smoking and brief teen drinking.English subtitled for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH); closed-captioned.DVD, wide screen (2.39); Dolby digital 5.1; region 1.- Subjects: Feature films.; Fiction films.; Film adaptations.; Historical films.; Sports films.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Masonic Home and School of Texas (Fort Worth, Tex.); Football coaches; Football teams; Football; Orphans;
