**Glory Road shares the incredible true story of the determination and bravery of Texas Western's 1966 basketball team, but the script falls short of capturing its full potential.**

Glory Road retells the inspiring story of 1966's first all-African American starting line-up in college basketball. The adversity these young men overcame and the courage to rise above the hatred and prejudice was genuinely inspiring. The cast, led by Josh Lucas, did a great job embodying the boldness and grit of each man. Unfortunately, the screenplay was fairly derivative and formulaic, even with a compelling true story. The movie is enjoyable but feels overdone and unoriginal, which takes away from the power of the story. Glory Road is not a bad movie by any means, but it could have been much better.
