Movie Description
Benson plays a high school basketball player who gets a shot at big-time college athletics. However, he finds that he must make difficult decisions when he is confronted with corruption and cheating.
Synopsis
This film offers insight into the politics of college basketball, and how wide-eyed freshman Henry Steele loses his innocence about the game, and his school.
When Steele, a gifted player, doesn't fulfill his mercilessly cruel coach's expectations, he's in big trouble. Specifically, the university wants him to renounce his scholarship. But Henry does not give up so easily. Instead he fights the system -- and keeps on improving his game -- in an effort to stay on the team, and keep his well-earned stipend. Will Steele succeed in redeeming himself?
Film Notes
Color by Technicolor. Shot on location at Colorado State University.
Additional cast: James G. Richardson (Malcolm), Hector Morales (Gonzales), Cory Faucher (Tom), and Doug Sullivan (Young Henry).
The film was co-written by Robby Benson and his father, Jerry Segal.
Shot under the title: "Catch a Falling Star."
Industry Reviews
"...So decent and entertaining....A lot of the success...has to do with the performance by writer-actor Benson..."
New York Times - Vincent Canby (08/25/1977)
