The Senior
True story, ultimate comeback.
Directed by Rod Lurie
Produced by Wayfarer Studios, Ten Acre Films
A redemptive sports drama about an aging athlete confronting decades of regret and fractured relationships through one final, defiant act of commitment.
At 59, Mike Flynt may be too old to be on a college football field, but not too old to feel the weight of unfinished business. After nearly four decades, he returns to his alma mater to take the hit that changed everything. Bruised, doubted, and nearly broken, he pushes for one more game, not for glory, but for the teammates he lost, the family he fractured, and the ending he still believes is possible.
