Loosely based on a series of true crimes committed in Australia in the early 21st century, director Shannon Young's independent thriller follows the story of five young men who set out seeking vengeance against those they believed have wronged society. Affairs in Australia are in shambles, and from the streets to the boardroom, crime has run rampant. But when anyone who speaks out is immediately silenced and brutalized, who will stand up for the common man? Zach (Richard Cawthorne) is the leader of a gang that decides to take justice into its own hands -- a violent preacher who uses his pulpit to promote the destruction of a broken social system. Other members of the gang include morbid pyrotechnics specialist Orville (Teague Rook), soft-spoken anarchist Anthony (Campbell Usher), and fearless videographer Rob (Shannon Young) -- who always keeps his lens trained on the action. Now, as the group's destructive brand of homebrew terrorism begins to strike fear into the hearts of the very Australians they once claimed to be protecting, the line between right and wrong becomes blurred beyond the point of distinction. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Long before his legendary association with the Alabama Crimson Tide, football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant was athletic director at Texas A&M University. In this made for TV movie, the hard-as-nails Bryant (played by Tom Berenger) shepherds 100 potential college football players into the desolate village known as Junction, Texas, in the summer of 1954. Determined to find out which of his boys has the guts and fortitude to play winning football, Bryant forces the applicants to train eight hours a day in 120 degree heat, without food or water. Ultimately, only 35 players make the cut, among them such gridiron luminaries as Gene Stallings and Jack Pardee (though, outside of Bryant, none of the players' actual names is mentioned in the script). "Bear"'s grueling regimen is tough, relentless and perhaps unfair, but the football players emerge as a unified whole, dedicated both to victory and to their tireless coach. The second feature film produced especially for the ESPN cable network, The Junction Boys was based on the book by Jim Dent, and originally aired on December 14, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
