THE PROGRAM (Theatrical Release USA 1993)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

The Program—good football movie—examines college/university football players’ pressures and their different ways of handling that pressure. Because the movie layers many challenges into one story, it creates a certain freshness to this movie over other sports films.
