Synopsis

Sean Porter (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) and Malcolm Moore (Xzibit) are probation officers at a juvenile detention camp who are tasked with turning round a group of hardened young criminals into a high school football team in just a month. This puts tremendous pressure on the leaders at the forefront of the teenagers rebuke and the inter-fighting and hatred from rivalries that surface between the team members.

Based on a true story GRIDIRON GANG shows that through the sheer dogged determination and insightful leadership of one man lives can be turned around.
