118 Min
Wide receiver Phil Elliott (Nick Nolte) is fighting to keep his career off the sidelines in this gritty gridiron classic. Elliott has done it all: drugs, booze, playing through injuries. But now he’s asking questions management doesn’t want to answer. North Dallas Forty shows a side of football fans seldom see, from Machiavellian front-office maneuvering to heroic striving and physical pain on the field.
