Professional football fills the screen in Oliver Stone's depiction of the sport's violent struggles brought on by the pressure of winning. Miami Sharks quarterback Cap Rooney (Dennis Quaid) is injured, and Coach Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino) pulls Willie Beamen (Jamie Foxx) off the bench to replace him. Willie excels and becomes a star player, which gives the new owner of the Sharks, Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz), the incentive to place pressures on D'Amato to win at any cost.
