PLOT:
“Track coach Jim White (Kevin Costner) is a newcomer to a predominantly Latino high-school in California’s Central Valley. Coach White and his new students find that they have much to learn about one another, but things begin to change when White realizes the boys’ exceptional running ability. More than just physical prowess drives the teens to succeed; their strong family ties, incredible work ethic and commitment to their team all play a factor in forging these novice runners into champions.“
Fans both outside and inside of the premiere were focused on Mr. Costner as he “stole the red carpet” compared to his fellow actors. Kevin did manage to close the party down as one of the last groups of people to vacate the premiere after party. Admirers inside the party were literally holding an empanadan in one hand and their camera phone in the other, hoping to get a snapshot with iconic actor.
