A true story, based on devastating events, set
in Huntington, West Virginia, about a small town
steeped in the rich tradition of college
football. For decades, players, coaches, fans
and families have come together to cheer on
Marshall University's "Thundering Herd." For
this team and this community, Marshall football
is more than just a sport, it's a way of life.
But on a fateful night in 1970, while traveling
back to Huntington after a game in North
Carolina, 75 members of Marshall's football team
and coaching staff were killed in a plane crash.
As those left behind struggled to cope with the
devastating loss of their loved ones, the
grieving families found hope and strength in the
leadership of Jack Lengyel, a young coach who
was determined to rebuild Marshall's football
program and in the process helped to heal a
community.
