Baltimore Film Club Screening – March Madness Edition
March 23, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Join us for the screening of a classic college basketball film at Old Major on Thursday, March 23 at 7:30 p.m.
Plot:
Championship-winning coach Pete Bell runs the cleanest program in collegiate basketball. When he finds himself on the brink of a losing season, Bell decides to make a risky move – trading dollars for talent.
Pete Bell (Nick Nolte) is a college basketball coach who has to improve his team’s standing — by any means necessary. His hopes are pinned on a trio of talented players: Neon Boudeaux (Shaquille O’Neal), Butch McRae (Penny Hardaway) and Ricky Roe (Matt Nover). But in order to get them to sign to his school, Bell will have to illegally pay the players off. If he’s caught, it could destroy Bell’s coaching career and cast a cloud of shame over his team. Will he risk it all to win?
Fun fact: This was Shaquille O’Neal’s first film.
