Rudy Ruettiger: The Walk On explores the real life of Daniel "Rudy"
Ruettiger, the inspiration behind the iconic sports film, Rudy. Rudy
Ruettiger first overcame the odds by being accepted to the University of
Notre Dame. Because he was dyslexic and got poor grades in school, he
had to find another way. He continued to accomplish his dream by
becoming a walk-on player for the football team, culminating in being
able to dress for just one game and leading to an epic sack that has
inspired generations of fans in the beloved sports movie. However, there
was still so much of Rudy's story to tell.
Emmy(R) award-winning Director and Producer Nick Nanton presents Rudy
Ruettiger: The Walk On, using the full dialogue and cinematic images
from the feature documentary film of the same title, to examine the Rudy
story everyone knows and loves to provide further depth and detail about
Rudy's past struggles and triumphs at Notre Dame, as well as what it
took to get that story onto film. Furthermore, Rudy Ruettiger: The Walk
On elaborates on who Rudy has become and how he still serves as an
inspiration today. Whether you're looking for insider information on the
actual story behind a favorite sports figure, or you're hoping to find
some continued inspiration in Rudy's story, this tell-all has something
special hidden amongst its pages for you.
