Inspired by the true story of Vince Papale, a man with nothing to lose who ignored the staggering odds and made his dream come true. When the coach of Papale's beloved hometown football team hosted an unprecedented open tryout, the public consensus was that it was a waste of time – no one good enough to play professional football was going to be found this way.

What critics are saying about Invincible

“Invincible” is inspiring from beginning to end. Non-sports fans need not be concerned that this is just a typical “football” movie targeting a male audience. While there are plenty of violent impacts between players, this is also a touching drama that shows the power of friendship, family, and team. Vince never loses touch with his roots. Unlike so many professional athletes, he never becomes arrogant or above the rest of society.

Invincible (2006). Director: Ericson Core. Writer: Brad Gann. Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Greg Kinnear, Elizabeth Banks, Kirk Acevedo. Release Date: August 25, 2006. Based on a True Story.The football action in Invincible isn’t revolutionary, but it feels authentic because Wahlberg performs many of his own stunts. The best moments aren’t even in the NFL scenes — they come from neighborhood pickup games in the rain, lit by headlights, with edits cut to classic rock tracks like BTO and Grand Funk. Core, a former cinematographer, gives the film a stylish look.
