American Underdog tells the inspirational true story of Kurt
Warner (Zachary Levi), who went from a stockboy at a grocery
store to a two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion, and Hall
of Fame quarterback. The film centers on Warner’s unique
story and years of challenges and setbacks that could have
derailed his aspirations to become an NFL player – but just
when his dreams seemed all but out of reach, it is only with
the support of his wife, Brenda (Anna Paquin) and the
encouragement of his family, coaches, and teammates that
Warner perseveres and finds the strength to show the world
the champion that he already is. American Underdog is
an uplifting story that demonstrates that anything is
possible when you have faith, family and determination.
Based
on the Book “All Things Possible” by Kurt Warner with
Michael Silver. Screenplay by Jon Erwin & David Aaron Cohen
and Jon Gunn. Directed by The Erwin Brothers.
