Directed by the legendary John Huston, Victory is a classic--to many, the classic--to soccer fans around the world. But few have seen it on the big screen.

Famous for lines like "Halftime, Hatch. Halftime" and "I go like this, like this, like this, like this. I shoot. I score," Victory tells the story of a ragtag team made up of Allied prisoners of war is suddenly recruited to play a match against the German National Team in Paris. The Germans see it as a propaganda opportunity. The Allied brass see a chance for a mass escape. But the players just want to play.
