Plots(1)
The story follows the lead up to and the day of the 2014 National Football League (NFL) Draft, where college players are selected to join a team. Under pressure from the team's owner Anthony Molina (Frank Langella), Cleveland Browns general manager Sonny Weaver Jr (Kevin Costner) accepts a deal to make a trade with Seattle Seahawks manager Tom Michaels (Patrick St. Esprit) for the number one pick Bo Callahan (Josh Pence) prior to Draft Day. However, this causes anger with the fans and within the NFL, and defensive player Vontae Mack (Chadwick Boseman), who is keen to join the Browns, attempts to prove to Sonny why he should pick him instead of Callahan. Meanwhile, in his personal life, Sonny is in a secret relationship with his team's lawyer Ali Parker (Jennifer Garner), who is pregnant with his child. Despite the challenges he faces, will Sonny be able to please everyone with the decisions he makes on Draft Day? The cast also features current and former football players such as Terry Crews, Deion Sanders, Alex Mack and Ray Lewis. (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)
