I don’t know about you but pretty much EVERY sports movie based on a true story is a great one. Blast 23 is no exception. It hit theaters yesterday and is a great one for the family! It makes you appreciate what you have in life and show you that despite the difficulties that are handed to you, you can make it through!
Kinda a perfect movie for me right now 🙂 Despite the tears, you get to watch the story of someone making the best of his situation. You see true friendship, support from family, strangers and friends.
23 Blast is based on the amazing true story of Travis Freeman, who was a typical teenager growing up in a small town in Kentucky.
Travis is a local hero on and off the field. In the fall of 1997, in the prime of his youth, he is unexpectedly stricken with an infection that destroys his optic nerve. He becomes blind overnight. Under the influence of parents who love him, a physical therapist who challenges him, a coach who inspires him, and a best friend who he cannot bear to leave behind, Travis shows us what true bravery is by competing on the gridiron, helping his team advance to the State playoffs.
We follow Travis and Jerry Baker, his closest friend, from the time they meet on the football field as kids through high school. It is only on the football field where they truly connect.
The movie is rated PG-13, so please use discretion if you show it to your children who are under the age of 13.
