	Movies - The Best of Times

Overview

Robin Williams plays Jack Dundee, a thirty-something banker obsessed with a pivotal experience of failure in his life: the moment he dropped a perfectly thrown football in an important high-school game. After this game, which took place in 1972, nothing seems to go right for Jack. The worst of it is that everyone continually reminds him that it was his clumsiness that lost the town Taft its one chance for glory by beating Bakersfield. Thirteen years later, Jack elicits the help of Reno (Kurt Russell), the former star quarterback, to help him replay the game. He convinces both towns to restage the game and in the process revitalizes the town of Taft and his and Reno's marriages. In the end, Taft defeats Bakersfield and Jack is redeemed by making the game winning catch.
