John Cusack and Charlie Sheen lead a “superb ensemble of actors” (Newsweek) delivering “striking performances” (The New York Times) in this “mesmerizing story” (Los Angeles Times) about the infamous 1919 Chicago White Sox scandal – certainly one of the saddest chapters in the annals of professional sports. Buck Weaver (Cusack) and Hap Felsch (Sheen) are young idealistic players on the Chicago White Sox, a pennant-winning team owned by Charles Comiskey (Clifton James) – a penny-pinching, hands-on owner who underpays his players and treats them with disdain. And when gamblers and hustlers discover that Comiskey’s demoralized players are ripe for a money-making scheme, one by one the team members agree to throw the World Series. But when the White Sox are defeated, a couple of sports writers smell a fix and a national scandal explodes, ripping the cover off America’s favorite pastime.
