Based on the inspiring, true story of the 1952 Seattle Chieftains, a college basketball team that defied the odds and captured the spirit of a nation in transition.
In postwar America, a determined clergyman from a floundering Catholic university sets out to build a basketball team capable of competing at the highest level. Despite opposition from his board of directors and guided by his unwavering belief in the unifying power of sports, he assembles a roster of players from diverse backgrounds, hoping to make it to the National Invitational. Along the way, they face off against formidable opponents and shatter records. Their defining moment comes in a thrilling matchup against the legendary Harlem Globetrotters, a game that cements their place in history and brings pride back to their community. More than a sports story, Hail to the Chieftains is a tribute to teamwork and perseverance. It honors unsung heroes and reminds us how shared purpose can inspire lasting change.
