New Release: The Mighty Macs
October 18th 2011 13:20
The Mighty Macs is a 2009 film by director Tim Chambers. It stars Carla Gugino in the lead role of Cathy Rush, a Hall of Fame women's basketball coach. The film premiered in the 2009 Heartland Film Festival and is set to release theatrically in the United States on October 21, 2011.
It’s 1971. Cathy Rush is a woman ahead of her time … and she’s about to embark on an adventure for the ages. As the coach of tiny Immaculata College, Cathy’s challenges are as imposing as the big-school teams her Macs will face. While it appears they don’t have a prayer, all hope is not lost. Will this pioneer buck cultural norms and spur her rag-tag team to unexpected heights? Or will her hard-driving ways create a wedge between the coach and everyone around her? The Mighty Macs is based on the true story of the first Cinderella team in women's basketball.
Seven members of the 1972 Immaculata championship team appear as nuns in a church scene.
