Glory Road

When passionate, no-nonsense, forward-thinking coach Don Haskins (Josh Lucas) moves his supportive wife (Emily Deschanel) and family to El Paso, Texas, to coach the Miners basketball team along with two skeptical assistants (Red West and Evan Jones) at Texas Western University in this factually based, feel-good Walt Disney film, the coaches and their talented team (Derek Luke, Alphonso McAuley, Damaine Radcliff, Al Shearer, Samuel Jones III, Schin A.S. Kerr, Mehcad Brooks, Austin Nichols, Kip Weeks, et al.) blaze new ground and face blatant discrimination when several leery black players are recruited and end up in the starting lineup at the NCAA national championship in 1966 against the Kentucky Wildcats coached by arrogant coach Adolph Rupp (Jon Voight).
