In one of the greatest and most inspiring comeback stories of all time,
MARSHALL UNIVERSITY: ASHES TO GLORY chronicles how a grief-stricken
football team rose from unfathomable ruin and despair to achieve one of
the most remarkable and triumphant victories in the history of sports.
It was the fall of 1970 when a chartered plane carrying Marshall
University's Thundering Herd football team, coaches, and leading
supporters across West Virginia crashed, leaving no survivors. In the
face of crushing heartbreak, a young coach named Jack Lengyel took over
the devastated program. Honoring the memories of those who died,
Lengyel and the five players who were not on the doomed flight found
the strength and courage to patch together a ragtag team that would
overcome the odds and triumph despite catastrophe. Featuring recently
found footage of the era and exclusive interviews with those close to
the tragedy, ASHES TO GLORY captures the gut-wrenching emotion that
afflicted an entire nation, and heralds the heroic comeback that
brought Marshall back to life.
