Description

The remarkable story of 20 young American footballers, convinced in 50s Hollywood to fly off to compete at rugby league against Australia, New Zealand and France, despite never having heard of the game. The American All Stars proved a shock success on a rollercoaster adventure, yet beyond the media circus lay fights and flings, tragedy and farce.
