Rudy (1993)

Rudy is a very inspiring and realistic film. Sean Astin plays the inspiring role as Daniel E. "Rudy" Ruettinger, a true story about a boy who grew up in a small blue collar steelworkers family.

His dream was to play football for the Notre Dame College. He loves Football but is too short and too small to ever become a star.

He graduated high school with not a great grade average and no money for college.

Instead of following his dream he chooses to stay at home and work at the mill.

When his best friend is killed in an accident mining, Rudy makes up his mind to pursue something more in life.

Ignoring the nay sayers and working hard to get accepted at Norte Dame he is denied attendance because of his bad grade average.

Still finding a way to get into school, he decides to enroll in a junior college next door to Norte Dame.

Working harder on his grades he tries out for the Norte Dame team but is denied. He shows his devotion to the team by becoming a member of the practice team. His training is fierce driven by his passion.
