NFL legend Kurt Warner’s own unlikely path to the pinnacle of the sport is certainly the stuff of movies, and the only surprise is that no one has bothered to have done one until now with, a title that pretty much says it all and sets up exactly what this is all about. It is also the stuff that fits nicely into the faith-based genre as Warner himself has often attributed his success to God whenever he has the chance.

Directed by Jon and Andy Erwin and co-written by Jon Erwin with David Aaron Cohen and Jon Gunn, the story of Warner is told in fairly linear fashion recounting his early dreams as a kid, success in high school and at the University of Northern Iowa where he was convinced he was on the path to becoming a big-time NFL quarterback.

Further tragedy hits Brenda though when both her parents are killed during a tornado that destroyed their house, but perseverance continues for both Brenda and Kurt, who at one point resorts to working as a grocery store clerk even as he tries to keep his dashed gridiron dreams alive; at one point he landed with the Green Bay Packers before quickly being cut.
