Storyline
The film tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa's rugby team as they make their historic run to the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship match.

Trivia
Nelson Mandela himself has said that only Morgan Freeman could portray him. And so Freeman was the first actor cast. See more »Goofs
Errors in geography: When Francois Pienaar has left Nelson Mandela's office and gets back into the car a cathedral bell can be heard. It is obviously the Westminster Quarters (Big Ben in London). See more »Quotes
