'American Underdog', which is slated to come out on Christmas on Lionsgate, is a movie that is sure to make us all cry.


The film is the true story of underdog Kurt Warner, who, despite many attempts to make it to the plush NFL, was unable to secure a spot. However, after meeting his future wife, Warner starts to concentrate more on building a future around his family and move away from the allure of a football stadium. To support his family, Warner gets a job at a nearby supermarket. Later, he is asked to take part in arena football, which he agrees to show respect towards his favorite game. While playing for the arena, he leads his team to one win after the other. 


Warner is then approached by a recruiter for the St. Louis Rams, who wants him to join the team. Although old for the position, among other problems, Warner makes it to the team that launches his 12-year long, super-successful career for as a quarterback.
