Set in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1971, the fact-based story begins with the integration of black and white students at T. C. Williams High School. This effort to improve race relations is most keenly felt on the school's football team, the Titans, and bigoted tempers flare when a black head coach (Washington) is appointed and his victorious predecessor (Will Patton) reluctantly stays on as his assistant. It's affirmative action at its most potentially volatile, complicated by the mandate that the coach will be fired if he loses a single game in the Titans' 13-game season. The players represent a hotbed of racial tension, but as the team struggles toward unity and gridiron glory, Remember the Titans builds on several subplots and character dynamics to become an inspirational drama of Rocky-like proportions.
Yakin--whose debut, Fresh, was one of the best independent films of the 1990s--understands the value of connecting small scenes to form a rich climactic payoff. Likewise, Washington provides a solid dramatic foundation (his coach is obsessively harsh, but for all the right reasons) while giving his younger co-stars ample time in the spotlight. The result is a film that achieves what it celebrates: an enriching sense of unity that's unquestionably genuine. (Ages 9 and older) --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Remember the Titans (Director's Cut)
Remember the Titans After searching the internet for the 'real' scoop on the Titans, I realize that writers took some 'poetic license' with the script. Even so, the final product delivered an incredibly inspiring and motivating message in both a light-hearted, but serious way. I recommend this movie to everyone as a testament to the human 'spirit'.
A Classic? Gimme A Break. No, Gimme Two Breaks.
With its noble, longsuffering minorities, and its ignorant whites who learn the wisdom of immersing themselves in the cleansing powers of diversity, its "aw, shucks" cute kids, and its racist small town villains crushed by the spirit of `70's style enlightened multiculturalism, this was a tedious, predictable, unabashedly manipulative film, calculated to hit the buttons that deliver knee-jerk reactions in a modern American audience. Oh, please, aren't we sophisticated enough to watch a movie with some depth instead of the "white hat/black hat good v. evil" simplicity this ridiculous film presented? Was there was scene from start to finish even a ten-year-old couldn't see coming from a country mile? Are we truly expected to accept that people raised in the rural south would be shocked when encountering lingering Jim Crow laws? Not only was it not good at delivering its heavy-handed message, its football moments were so lackluster I don't even count this as a very good entry into the sports film genre, let alone as a mainstream movie. Remember The Titans likes to bill itself as "based on actual events" but the fact is few motion pictures stretch that term as far as this one did. Visit the website maintained by the real life Titans to learn the facts and see how deceitfully far from reality this one dimensional farce was. Remember the Titans? At least as far as this story goes, I'd really like to forget them.
Excellent Movie, a must have
A truly inspirational movie that will encourage you to overcome what challenges you. As expected Denzel Washington and the underrated Will Patton deliver a very powerful message. This is a great movie to watch time and time again as you will see smaller stories you missed earlier. Challenges and triumphs of individual players and people. This is a story that will really encourage you to do great things.
