    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Debut theatrical feature film of cast members Alex English and Joshua Zuehlke. Alex English, the all-star forward for the Denver Nuggets and the National Basketball Association's leading scorer of the 1980's, made his acting debut as Amazing Grace Smith, a character much like himself-sensitive, introspective, highly principled - who decides his moral convictions are stronger than his desire to be a great player. Joshua Zuehlke, a seventh grade star Little League pitcher from Minnesota, made his acting debut as Chuck Murdock, a young man who abruptly leaves childhood behind when he courageously makes a very adult decision.

      • President: [to Chuck about his protest of the nuclear missiles] Now Chuck I can't deny you the right to protest, that's in the first amendment and God forbid that should change. But there's an old saying: "You can't run into a crowded theater and yell fire!"
