When a plane crash claims the lives of members of the Marshall University football team and some of its fans, new coach Jack Lengyel arrives on the scene, determined to rebuild Marshall's Thundering Herd and heal a grieving community in the process.
We Are Marshall is not a bad movie; it is a potentially nice, familiar movie unfortunately marred by the unspeakably awful performance of Matthew McConaughey.
