What it’s about. Ende 1950 - Anfang 1960: Ben Schwartzwalder ist Trainer des College Football Teams in Syracuse. Mit bescheidenden Mitteln versucht er hoffnungsvolle Talente an die hiesige Universität zu locken. Das dies klappt beweist er mit dem Farbigen Jim Brown, der zum Starspieler wird und schließlich zu den Cleveland Browns in die NFL wechselt. Angefeindet von den Schwarzenhassern läßt er sich nicht beirren und überredet mit Hilfe von Jim das ebenfalls farbige Supertalent Ernie Davis nach Syracuse. Schnell erarbeitet sich Davis Respekt, wird zum Publikumsliebling und stellt einen Rekord nach dem anderen auf. Nach dem Gewinn der National Championship und der Heisman Trophy 1961 für den besten Spieler, geht Ernies Traum in Erfüllung: Ein Wechsel nach Cleveland steht bevor...
