Glory Road (film)

Glory Road is an American film directed by James Gartner, released on January 13, 2006.

The film is based on a true story dealing with the events leading to the 1966 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship, in which Don Haskins, head coach of the Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso) led a team with an all-black starting lineup, a first in NCAA history. The film follows a semi-fictional version of this tale.

Tropes associated with this work:

 * Jackie Robinson Story
 * Miracle Rally
 * Save Our Team
 * Underdogs Never Lose
 * Very Loosely Based on a True Story
 * White Male Lead
 * White Mans Burden: A variation - Instead of a single impoverished minority, it's an entire starting lineup.
