1966 was a great year
For those who are reminded of Remember the Titans, one of my all-time favorite movies, this vehicle is similar in its premise: a biracial group of sports players face enormous odds on their way to the top. Their goal: to win a basketball championship. If you've seen enough sports movies, then you...

Educational, even if inaccurate
I must admit that I don't know much about the actual Texas Western team this movie portrays. I understand that the story has compressed some facts in the name of dramatic license. Frankly, I am OK with that. If they had depicted the story along the real timelines, etc. the criticism would have...

Great Movie
I'm so happy that most of America now treats all Americans equal most of time. The 60's were a sad, scary time. The movie was superb!

Unfair to whites...
I think most reasonable Americans will say that they are not racist and deplore it. This is different then saying you agree with cultural values that certain races have proposed to adopt for themselves. Glory Road is a fine story, no disagreement, but like all racial movies, it lacks honesty, and...

quite disappointed
The movie was way too similar to Remember the Titans and they're portrayal of coach Rupp was disturbing. I agree with one of the previous posts that they changed a lot just to make the movie more appealing. The movie made it seem as if black players were a whole new thing when coach Haskins...

Excellent!!!!
This is one of the best movies I've seen. It brought out the issue of race back in the 60s without being graphic. Very well done.

Superb Acting, Great Movie!!!
This movie was fantastic, Josh Lucas was great. I had so much fun watching this and it was about so much more than just a basketball team winning in the NCAA. It was about the 60's, racism, and getting past all of that. What is so sad, is our world has not changed much since then. More people...

Entertaining, But horribly inaccurate
I find it difficult to believe anybody gave this movie 5 stars "despite the artistic license". This movie made a joke of the story of this team. Because of this movie, people are given the impression that 5 black freshmen recruited by Coach Don Haskins started in the NCAA Championship game,...

Texas Cinderella Story with Hoops
Josh Lucas (Paul Newman's long lost and generations younger twin) plays a lengendary Texan basketball coach who broke the color barrier with a win over Kentucky at the 1966 NCAA championship play off. An inspirational tale of courage, boldness, and making a statement on and off court.

A Must See
I just finished watching this movie on HBO, the second time I have seen it. This video is a must see, not just from the point of view of a good sports story but of American history. I remember the story well. I was a student at Duke University which lost by three points to UK when our best player...
