Movie Description
Every football season, normally mild-mannered Philadelphians transform themselves into some of the rowdiest fans the sports world has ever seen. From the infamous 1968 "Santa Claus incident" (in which angry fans pelted poor St. Nick with snowballs during a halftime show) to the 1999 cheering of Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin's career-ending injury, Philadelphia Eagles fans rival those of European soccer for devotion and intensity (and, often, drunkenness). In fact, such is the level of fanaticism that the Eagles' stadium actually houses a built-in courtroom, while undercover police officers routinely patrol particularly volatile sections such as the infamous 700 level. This documentary pays tribute to the Philadelphia Eagles and their rambunctious fans with footage of the anarchic festivities that accompanied the team's 2005 championship season (their first in 25 years) and interviews with players such as Donovan McNabb, Jeremiah Trotter, and Terrell Owens. Fly, Eagles, fly!
