Disney’s McFARLAND, USA

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 25 years since Kevin Costner starred in Field of Dreams, an Oscar nominated inspirational baseball movie that will always be one of my favorite movies of all times.  I think it’s fair to say it’s time for Kevin to bring that feeling back to the screen.  I am very excited to see Disney’s McFarland, USA when it comes out early next year!

Based on the 1987 true story, “McFarland, USA” follows novice runners from McFarland, an economically challenged town in California’s farm-rich Central Valley, as they give their all to build a cross-country team under the direction of Coach Jim White (Kevin Costner), a newcomer to their predominantly Latino high school. Coach White and the McFarland students have a lot to learn about each other but when White starts to realize the boys’ exceptional running ability, things begin to change. Soon something beyond their physical gifts becomes apparent—the power of family relationships, their unwavering commitment to one another and their incredible work ethic. With grit and determination, the unlikely band of runners eventually overcomes the odds to forge not only a championship cross-country team but an enduring legacy as well. Along the way, Coach White realizes that his family finally found a place to call home and both he and his team achieve their own kind of American dream.

 

McFARLAND, USA is rated PG and opens in theaters everywhere on February 20, 2015!
