Jim Caviezel (TV’s “Person of Interest”) brings to life the remarkable journey of legendary football coach Bob Ladouceur in the inspiring sports drama WHEN THE GAME STANDS TALL, available on Digital HD Nov. 25 and on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD Dec. 9 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and AFFIRM Films. Directed by Thomas Carter (Coach Carter) and adapted from the novel of the same name, the film follows the incredible winning streak of the De La Salle High School football team — 151 straight victories over 12 years. But when “the streak” is finally broken and the team suffers a series of real-life adversities, Coach Ladouceur must teach his players – and the entire town – that it’s not about how you fall, but how you get back up. The film co-stars Golden Globe® winner Michael Chiklis (Best Actor, TV’s “The Shield,” 2003), Alexander Ludwig (The Hunger Games), and Academy Award® nominee Laura Dern (Best Actress, Rambling Rose, 1992)
