Glory Road (2006)

In the throes of 1965, the winds of change sweep across the United States, blowing even harder in the world of college basketball. Amidst this storm, Don Haskins, a former high school girls' basketball coach, is plucked from obscurity and tasked to breathe life into the Texas Western Miners. With a shoestring budget but a heart full of grit, Haskins relocates with his family to the austere confines of a college dormitory, trading comfort for a shot at making history. Determined to assemble a force that could topple even the supremely formidable Kentucky, Haskins embarks on a recruiting mission. His goal is not to find the best black or white players, but simply the best talent the land has to offer. The resulting team, a harmonious blend of seven gifted black players and five white players, becomes the iconic 1965-66 Texas Western Miners. Their journey is far from smooth, marred by mockery and disdain for their unconventional tactics and the audacious display of black talent on the court. Yet, in the face of these towering odds, Haskins and his Miners forge a bond stronger than the prejudice they face. Together, they prove that unity and talent, not race or convention, are the true measures of a team's worth. In the end, this legendary team doesn't just compete in the National Championship game against the powerhouse Kentucky; they redefine the boundaries of the game itself. "Glory Road" is the riveting tale of their journey, a testament to their courage, and a chronicle of a cultural revolution ignited on the basketball court.
