George Plimpton (starring Alan Alda) wants to write a story for Sports Illustrated on what it is like to be a quarterback for an NFL team. No one is willing to allow a klutzy amateur to go on the field for fear he`ll kill himself. After several teams turn him down, Plimpton got the Detroit Lions to let him go to training camp. He tries to keep his true identity a secret from the real players. This is based on a true incident and many of the players play themselves in the movie. Actors include Alan Alda, Lauren Hutton, Roy Scheider, Detroit Lions coach Joe Schmidt, Alex Karras, Karl Sweetan, Roger Brown, John Gordy, Mike Lucci, Pat Studstill, Jim Martin, Bill McPeak, Ron Kramer, Charles Bradshaw, Mike Weger, Lou Garney, Dick "Night Train" Lane, Tom Vaughn, Bill Malinchak, Roger Shoals, Jerry Rush, Kent Falb, Lem Barney, Sugar Ray Robinson, Ernie Harwell, Frank Gifford, and Vince Lombardi.
