A film about tough, highly competitive rugby players. Quadriplegic rugby
players. Whether by car wreck, fist fight, gun shot, or rogue bacteria,
these men were forced to live life sitting down.  In their own version
of the full-contact sport, they smash each other in custom-made
gladiator-like wheelchairs.

 

>From the gyms of middle America to the Olympic arena in Athens, Greece,
MURDERBALL tells the story of a group of world-class athletes unlike any
ever shown on screen.  It is a film about standing up, even after your
spirit - and your spine - has been crushed.

 

 

*Visitor Parking free after 6:00 p.m. with validation.
