Failed college coach Norman Dale gets a chance at redemption
when he is hired to direct the basketball program at a high school
in a tiny Indiana town. After a teacher persuades star player Jimmy Chitwood
to quit and focus on his long-neglected studies, Dale struggles to develop
a winning team in the face of community criticism for his temper and his
unconventional choice of assistant coach: Shooter, a notorious alcoholic.
Starring Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper, Hoosiers is frequently ranked
as the greatest sports movie ever made, receiving two Academy Award nominations:
Best Supporting Actor for Dennis Hopper and Best Original Score for Jerry Goldsmith.
