Based on the true underdog story of Vince Papale, a 30-year-old bartender and Philadelphia Eagles fan who earned a spot on the team after new head coach Dick Vermeil calls an unprecedented open tryout.
Invincible
Invincible is based on the inspiring true story of Vince Papale, an ordinary guy who, against extraordinary odds, gets a one-in-a-gazillion shot at living every sports fan's wildest fantasy. Like the city he lives in and his beloved hometown NFL team, the down-and-out Vince (Mark Wahlberg) has seen better days. But then the Philadelphia Eagles' new coach Dick Vermeil (Greg Kinnear) calls an unprecedented open tryout, and the 30-year-old bartender, who never played college ball, makes the cut. Now Vince needs every bit of his gritty, never-say-die attitude and enormous heart to survive in the high-stakes world of professional football.
