Plot

A young foster child named Roger (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and his friend J.P. (Milton Davis, Jr.) love to sneak into baseball games to watch the California Angels baseball team. Roger still has limited contact with his father, but when Roger asks his father when they will be a family again, his father replies, "I'd say when the Angels win the pennant."(He says this because the Angels had been playing so badly). This prompts Roger to pray one night for God to help the Angels win. The next time he and his friend go to see the game, he sees a group of angels led by Al (Christopher Lloyd) helping the team. Despite the skepticism of the team's manager George Knox (Danny Glover), Roger starts consulting with George, letting him know when he sees an angel helping a player. After the angels start to interfere, the Angels start to win games and make a surprising second-half surge to the top of their division. However, Roger's father permanently gives up custody of his son. The Angels ultimately win the final game of the regular season without the help of the angels (Al explains to Roger that championships must be played without help) and clinch the division pennant over the rival Chicago White Sox. The movie ends with George adopting both Roger and J.P.

The movie spawned a direct-to-video sequel, Angels in the Endzone.
