SYNOPSIS All his life, people have told Rudy he's not good enough, not smart enough, not big enough. But nothing can stop his impossible dream of playing football for Notre Dame. From the time he's a young boy, Rudy (Sean Astin) is determined to join the Fighting Irish. But his blue collar family only laughs at his ambitions - they know Rudy will follow his father and brothers to the local steel mill. And, for four long years after high school, he does just that. But some dreams won't die, as Rudy proves when he goes to heroic, occasionally hilarious, lengths to win admission to Notre Dame. Once there, he becomes a walk-on player, serving as little more than a human tackling dummy against the starting players. Bloodied but unbeaten, Rudy wins the respect of legendary coach Ara Parseghian and the other Irish players, who give him one shot at gridiron glory. An incredible true story from the creators of Hoosiers, RUDY is an unforgettable testament to the power of dreams and the triumph of the common man.
I can’t believe it’s already the 30th Anniversary of this movie! "Rudy" is a compelling narrative of an underdog's journey, capturing the essence of perseverance and the pursuit of dreams. Sean Astin's portrayal of Rudy Ruettiger, skillfully directed by David Anspaugh, breathes life into a heartfelt story of resilience and determination. With emotional depth and an inspiring plot, the film becomes a timeless classic, leaving viewers moved and motivated. "Rudy" serves as a powerful testament to the impact of belief and hard work when confronted with seemingly insurmountable challenges. I love the deleted scenes and commentary that are included in this special edition.
