North Dallas Forty

In the decadent world of late-1970s American professional football, a semi-fictional account of life as a player unfolds in North Dallas Forty. Based on Peter Gent's best-selling 1973 novel, this comedy-drama sports film loosely follows the lives of players on the North Dallas Bulls team, which closely resembles the iconic Dallas Cowboys. Starring Nick Nolte and Mac Davis, the film delves into the world of painkillers, party atmosphere, and manipulation, as a player's nonconformist attitude threatens his future career.
