Gridiron Gang
One Goal. A Second Chance.
Juvenile detention camp probation officer Sean Porter (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), along with another officer, Malcolm Moore (Xzibit), turn a group of hardcore teenage felons into a high school football team in four weeks. Confronted with gang rivalries and a bitter hatred between his teammates, Porter teaches some hard lessons (and learns a few himself) as the kids gain a sense of self-respect and responsibility.
In a world where 75% of these juvenile inmates return to prison or meet with violent ends on the streets, Porter and Moore face seemingly insurmountable barriers. No one wants to compete against convicted criminals, but through relentless pursuit and a jolt of inspiration, Porter and his team fight their way to redemption and a second chance.
Based on a true story.

Gridiron Gang is a heartwarming and entertaining movie. The cast is a good variety of scary, charming, funny, and quirky characters. I love football so the plot was very appealing to me. Based on a true story, this is definately a movie that I would buy for my collection.Your typical motivational film - lovemovies
This movie is about 1 hour too long. It has all your usual gang, love, fight, football and death parts. Even though based on a true story the story is presented in a very cheesy overdone manner. If there is nothing else for young boys to watch, this might be good one, otherwise there are much better films for families and others.Great movie! - Shelly
I always love to watch movies that are based on a true story. This one was great; from the acting to the storyline to the character follow-up at the end. It's nice to know what happened to the "real" people that the movie was modelled after. The Rock, believe it or not, does a fantastic acting job in this movie. As far as I am concerned wrestling was simply a waste of hi talent.
