Inspired by the true story of a small town high school football team who beat all the odds to win their state championship, the film will also be based on Al Pickett and Chad Mitchell’s book Brother’s Keeper. After a crushing defeat ended their prior season, everyone counted the Abilene Eagles out of title contention. Facing doubts and personal challenges both on and off the field, it will take the guidance of their team chaplain and a surrogate father figure for them to realize what they can achieve when they stand united as a team. In this uplifting underdog story, the Abilene Eagles will once again soar in an incredible comeback that will be forever remembered in sports history.
Under the Stadium Lights will star Laurence Fishburne (Boyz n the Hood), Milo Gibson (Hacksaw Ridge), Abigail Hawk (Blue Bloods), Acoryé White, Carter Redwood, Germain Arroyo, Adrian Favela, Eddie George, Glenn Morshower (24), and Noel G. (The Fast and the Furious).
