Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is based on the real 1951 West Point cheating scandal that actually dismissed 83 cadets, including the son of legendary coach Earl 'Red' Blaik.
The real scandal nearly killed Army football's reputation; this TV movie came out the same year as another military academy drama, Annapolis, proving 2005 really loved yelling about honor.
