ESPN Original movie directed and written by Mike Robe using a novel by Jim Dent as a template. Tom Berenger is outstanding as the legendary football icon Paul "Bear" Bryant. This is suppose to be the true-life story of that infamous first preseason training camp when Bryant took charge of the Aggies of Texas A&M. Making no mistake who the boss was Bryant loaded over a hundred boys into two buses and took his team from College Station to Junction, Texas. It was 102 degrees in the shade; in the middle of a drought in no-less the middle of nowhere. Those ten days in the summer of 1954 will prove to be remembered by all involved and especially the 25 players that survived that grueling training camp. "Bear" Bryant was harsh, blistering and in no way going to settle for less than excellence. It is obvious that Hollywood took liberties with actuality; but THE JUNCTION BOYS is a movie that introduces you to a bigger-than-life coach that took young men and turned them not only into football players, but also champions.
Others in the cast: Fletcher Humphrys, Bernard Curry, Luke Ford, Ryan Johnson, Nick Tate and Ryan Kwanten.
