Co-written and directed by Gavin O’Connor, The Way Back follows Jack Cunningham, played by Ben Affleck, who had everything going for him back in high school.
A basketball phenom, he could have punched his ticket to college or even the pros, but he walked away from the game, forfeiting his future.
Jack’s glory days are long gone but not forgotten. Years later, he gets to take back his life when he offers to coach the struggling basketball team at his alma mater.
Jack reluctantly accepts, surprising no one more than himself, and as the boys come together as a team and win, he may get his last shot at redemption.
Brad Ingelsby co-wrote the screenplay with O’Connor. The cast also includes Janina Gavankar and Michaela Watkins.
