Based on the incredible true story, The Express follows the inspirational life of college football hero Ernie
Davis, the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy and one of the greatest running backs in
American college football history. The Express is available on DVD from July 22nd.
Under the guidance of legendary coach Ben Schwartzwalder, played by Golden Globe nominee
Dennis Quaid, Davis’ fight for equality and respect forever changed the American sporting arena, with
his story still continuing to inspire new generations.
Set in the sixties when the growing civil rights movement was dividing the country, Davis became a
symbol for achievement that transcended race. Refusing to flinch against a wave of discrimination, he
achieved all his goals including a major challenge that would make most ordinary men crumble.
The Express is the inspirational story of one man’s ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable
obstacles and become a sporting legend in this powerful story of triumph both on and off the field
that will have you cheering for more!
