Greater is a compelling film based on the true story of Brandon Burlsworth, revered as the greatest walk-on in college football history. This inspiring tale begins with tragedy, as Brandon is killed in a car crash and his brother Marty attends his memorial. Flashbacks take us back 10 years to Brandon's baptism, where a determined boy dreams of playing American football despite being overweight and short. Defying all odds, Brandon works tirelessly to make his high school team, earns a visit to his dream university, and, despite setbacks, decides to walk on without a scholarship. With unyielding support from his mother, Brandon embarks on a grueling journey to transform his body and earn his place. Facing ridicule from teammates, he perseveres, gaining muscle and confidence. His tenacity finally secures him a full scholarship, enabling him to complete his degree while playing for his dream team. As Brandon's team struggles, he rallies his friends and intensifies their training, driven by faith and an unwavering belief that God has a plan. Against all odds, the team progresses towards the championship, only for tragedy to strike at the pinnacle of Brandon's success. Greater delivers a powerful message of faith, hard work, and dedication, offering hope and inspiration while contemplating life's deeper questions. This heartwarming story, starring Neil McDonough, renowned for his role in Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist, is a testament to overcoming adversity and trusting in a higher plan.
