When Sammy Balle's leg is shattered on the final play of the college football National Championship, his chances of going pro are shattered as well. While wallowing in self-pity and contemplating what might have been, catastrophe strikes when his young niece is injured and falls into a coma. When Death comes to take her away, Sammy challenges him to a football game for her life. Death's stipulation, however, is that all of the players Sammy chooses to fill in his roster must have passed on. With the help of an elderly football guru, Sammy compiles his team of Legends, including greats such as Nitschke, Grange, Alzado, and Hutson. The game that ensues is not at all what Sammy had in mind however, as he must overcome Death's hidden clauses and tricks. In a one-time football game where the stakes are life and death itself, you will not need players, you will need Legends.
