That Championship Season

Synopsis:

This searing movie of midlife crisis is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by director Jason Miller. The glory days have passed by four former basketball buddies and their coach, who gather for a soul-wrenching 25th reunion.

In 1957, the Scranton High School basketball team won the Pennsylvania State championship. Since then, teammates George (Dern, Monster, Masked And Anonymous), Phil (Sorvino, Goodnight Joseph Parker, Mr. 3000), James (Golden Globe® winner Keach, The Hollow, Hemingway), and Tom (Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award winner Sheen, Catch Me If You Can, The West Wing) have reunited with Coach Delaney (Golden Globe® winner Mitchum, James Dean: Race With Destiny, Dead Man) for one evening of fun and romanticizing the past.

But things have changed since then. It's 1982, and George is now mayor of Scranton, facing a tough re-election. James and Phil don't see eye to eye on how to manage the campaign. Tom has returned to town after a three-year absence. Betrayals and backstabbings are about to be revealed during the course of their reunion. Will their friendship survive?
