Trojan War (2015): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2015, Trojan War is a documentary film directed by Aaron Rahsaan Thomas, running about 78 minutes.

What it’s about. When Pete Carroll took over the football program at USC after the 2000 season, the once-great Trojans were under siege. But thanks to his football knowledge, upbeat personality and recruiting skills, Southern Cal was soon back atop the college football world as home attendance skyrocketed, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush won Heismans and the Trojans put together a 34-game winning streak. As it would be later discovered, though, the program was committing sins that would result in lost scholarships, victories and one of those Heismans. But those revelations didn’t come until after the national championship game in the 2006 Rose Bowl between USC and the University of Texas. Featuring interviews with Carroll, Leinart and others inside the USC program at the time, “Trojan War” looks at Carroll’s nine-year USC reign through the prism of that game, considered one of the greatest in college football history. It was also the beginning of the end.

Who’s in it. Trojan War stars Pete Carroll as Himself, Snoop Dogg as Himself, Matt Leinart as Himself and Michael B. Jordan as Narrator, among others.
