CELEBRATING THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE INSPIRING MODERN CLASSIC

FEATURING AN ALL-NEW DIRECTOR’S CUT OF THE FILM IN ADDITION TO THE ORIGINAL THEATRICAL VERSION, DEBUTING ON 4K ULTRA HD™ NOVEMBER 14TH

SYNOPSIS
All his life, people have told Rudy he’s not good enough, not smart enough, not big enough. But nothing can stop his impossible dream of playing football for Notre Dame. From the time he’s a young boy, Rudy (Sean Astin) is determined to join the Fighting Irish. But his blue collar family only laughs at his ambitions – they know Rudy will follow his father and brothers to the local steel mill. And, for four long years after high school, he does just that. But some dreams won’t die, as Rudy proves when he goes to heroic, occasionally hilarious, lengths to win admission to Notre Dame. Once there, he becomes a walk-on player, serving as little more than a human tackling dummy against the starting players. Bloodied but unbeaten, Rudy wins the respect of legendary coach Ara Parseghian and the other Irish players, who give him one shot at gridiron glory. An incredible true story from the creators of Hoosiers, RUDY is an unforgettable testament to the power of dreams and the triumph of the common man.
