Synopsis[]
The biggest game in the world comes to the smallest town in America in this action-packed comedy about a group of bored misfits who become local soccer heroes. A winning family film from the people who brought you Angels In The Outfield, The Big Green will elicit big grins from the whole family!
Nothing ever happens in Elma, Texas...at least not until British schoolteacher Anna Montgomery (Olivia d'Abo of "The Wonder Years") arrives. Determined to motivate her students, Anna decides to form a soccer team. She enlists the aid of out-of-shape sheriff Tom Palmer (Steve Guttenberg, Three Men And A Baby), who agrees to coach the team so he can beat his old nemesis, the ruthless coach of the big city bullies, the Knights. What starts out as a disaster soon becomes a hilarious fight to the finish as The Big Green struggle to overcome their own shortcomings and battle courageously to an unlikely victory over the Knights.
The Big Green scores with parents as well as with kids, who learn the importance of being a team player... and a good sport!
