Hickory, Indiana is a small remote farm community where the train seldom stops, strangers are suspect, and most of the excitement is provided by high school basketball frenzy. When a controversial outsider (Gene Hackman) is hired to teach and coach, he bewilders the townspeople, changes lives, and challenges youngsters to pursue their dreams.

"It's engaging . . .utterly American . . . and thrilling. You can hate everything about basketball and still have a sensational time at HOOSIERS. Of course, if you like the sport, you're in hog heaven."

- Sheila Benson, LOS ANGELES TIMES

"HOOSIERS is the first thoroughly enjoyable film of 1987."

- Jeffrey Lyons, SNEAK PREVIEWS

"This is a real good movie with a great performance by Gene Hackman."

- Roger Ebert, SISKEL & EBERT AT THE MOVIES

"HOOSIERS is that legendary movie, a real sleeper, that slips into town with no advance hoopla but turns out to be worth a dozen films that open with a big bang and close with a whimper."

- Edwin Miller, SEVENTEEN
