Will lightning ever strike twice? Can David beat Goliath a second
time? These questions haunt everyone in the small town of Milan,
Indiana, whose basketball team inspired Hoosiers, the greatest
underdog sports movie ever made. From a town of just 1,816
residents, the team remains forever an underdog, but one with a
storied past that has them eternally frozen in their 1954 moment of
glory. Every ten years or so, Milan has a winning season, but for
the most part, they only manage a win or two each year. And still,
perhaps because it's the only option for Milan, the town believes
that the Indians can rise again. Bill Riley follows the modern day
Indians for a season and explores how the Milan myth still
permeates the town, the residents, and their high level of
expectations of the team. Riley deftly captures the camaraderie
between the players and their coach and their school pride in being
Indians. In the end, there are few wins or causes for
celebration-there is only the little town where basketball is king
and nearly the whole town shows up to watch each game. The legend
of Milan and Hoosiers is both a blessing and a curse.
