Invictus
His people needed a leader. He gave them a champion.
Directed by Clint Eastwood
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Spyglass Entertainment
An idealistic historical drama about Nelson Mandela using rugby as a tool for national reconciliation and healing in post-apartheid South Africa.
Newly elected President Nelson Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa's rugby union team as they make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match.
