Thomas Carter

A white midwestern girl (Julia Stiles, 10 Things I Hate About You) moves to Chicago, where her new boyfriend is a black teen from the South Side (Sean Patrick Thomas, Barbershop) with a rough past.

Samuel L Jackson is high school basketball coach Ken Carter in this 2005 sports drama who makes his unruly team sign a disciplinary contract with him. When their disrespectful behaviour continues, he makes the bold and controversial decision to bench the lot of them.

This true gridiron story stars Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ) as legendary coach Bob Ladouceur, who led California's De La Salle High School Spartans to a record-crushing 13-year winning streak.
