Synopsis

Clooney plays Dodge Connolly, a charming, brash football hero who is determined to guide his team from bar brawls to packed stadiums.

A golden-boy war hero who single-handedly forced multiple German soldiers to surrender in WWI, Carter has dashing good looks and unparalleled speed on the field.

Finding that love and football have a surprisingly similar playbook, however, he has one maneuver he will save just for the fourth quarter…
