This is the true story of Jimmy Morris (Dennis Quaid) who went from coaching high-school baseball in a small Texas town to the oldest major league rookie in 40 years when he signed as a southpaw for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. It all came about because his high-school team made a bargain that if they won the district championship, Coach Morris would try out for major league baseball.

On their way to Vietnam during the 1970s, recruits go through Advanced Infantry Training at Fort Polk in Louisiana. When one draftee, Roland Bozz (Colin Farrell), doesn't exactly play by the rules, it isn't long before others follow suit. But, Bozz's actions backfire when his superiors see the insubordination as a sign of intelligence and regard him as a future leader. Their week in the Louisiana swamp, Tigerland, just might prove as dangerous as Vietnam when the men make decisions about whether or not they will go to war.
