Rudy: The Game of a Lifetime HD CLIP

What’s happening in this Rudy movie clip?
With Notre Dame leading 17–3, Devine (Chelcie Ross) sends all the seniors into the game except Rudy (Sean Astin from The Lord of The Rings), despite Steele's and the assistant coaches’ urging. Fans are aware of Rudy’s goal from a story in the student newspaper, and a "Rudy!" chant begins in the stadium. Hearing this, the Notre Dame offensive team, led by tailback Jamie O'Hara (Vince Vaughn from The Lost World: Jurassic Park and The Cell), overrules Devine's call for victory formation and scores a quick touchdown, providing defensive player Rudy a chance to get in the game and be entered onto the Fighting Irish roster. Devine finally lets Rudy play on the Notre Dame kickoff to Georgia Tech.

What’s the Rudy movie about?
A young man learns to let nothing stop him from realizing his ambitions in this drama, based on a true story. Rudy (Sean Astin from The Lord of The Rings) dreams of attending Notre Dame University, and playing on the Fighting Irish football team. However, Rudy's dream doesn't seem very practical; his father works in a steel mill and can ill afford to send his son to Notre Dame, while Rudy's grades are not especially impressive, and standing a shade over five feet tall and weighing a little over 100 pounds, Rudy is hardly built for the gridiron. However, with the help of Father Cavanaugh (Robert Prosky), Rudy is admitted to Holy Cross, and in his junior year manages to squeak into Notre Dame as a transfer student. Rudy works as an assistant to the football stadium's groundskeeper to pay his tuition and appears at tryouts for the football team. Rudy is made a member of the practice team but Coach Ara Parseghian (Jason Miller) is impressed with Rudy's devotion and determination, and pledges that he'll allow him to dress for one game before he graduates, so his name can be recorded as an official member of the team. However, the arrival of a new coach and a tough season that allows for few unnecessary players may put a stop to Rudy's dreams within sight of the finish line.

I remember back in 2009 we had just made the playoffs in high school and were on the road to play the number 1 seeded team. It was a 2 hour drive and coach put this movie on the bus to inspire us. That night in the locker room he ended the speech before the game with "be Rudy tonight". We lost the game 56-6

I never have watched this movie with a dry eye... Hell, I can't get through a six minute clip without some pollen getting my eyes...fantastic movie.

"That was for you"
The music, Rudy's reaction, everything just perfect 👌🏾

[richardmiller]

Gives me goosebumps. Amazing. I had a Rudy moment in High school basketball. I was a bench warmer and my friend Mark Gray told me he was going to get the crowd cheering for me to get in. By the one minute mark he had the entire crowd cheering for me. Coach finally told me to take off my sweats and just from that the crowd was on their feet. Went I went in the entire crowd gave me a standing ovation. Never forget it. Everyone deserves a moment like that in their life. Thank you Mark Gray!!

Lump in my throat, tears in my eyes…u gotta have a heart of stone to not feel the emotion of this! What a story, what a film, what a dreamer named Rudy who had a heart bigger than that entire stadium and who never gave up! Love this!

[kwgrid]

Brings tears to my eyes every time! Wish this included the team carrying him off the field.

[blawruk]

50 years old, and still makes me shed a tear. Great movie ❤

[brucecooke]

The Rudy music gets me pumped up every game I have to play when I was in HS. The tune has a meaningful effect to me because I tells me to never give up in school, football, my job, and other personal matters. When I turn that music on, it gets me to work nonstop till the finish line.

"He's so little!"
Yeah Jon he's a hobbit

[blairpenny]

I have seen this maybe a dozen times and I still have tears in my damn eyes. If you don't feel this then you aren't alive period

[salvadoravalos]

I just came to watch this knowing id get emotional some.
Soon as he runs on the field and his family goes crazy my eyes start to sweat in joy.

[halleck]

If I ever get dirt or something stuck in my eye, I watch this scene. Works every time.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon.

Sean Astin performed well in this movie! His sense of wonder & awe...the best!!! ♡

[shermanhiggins]

I cry just about every time I watch this part.

[scqicej]

This movie is almost 30 years old...let that sink in my 90's high school peeps. I was a frosh. Varsity hockey though. :-)

[paulacri]

One of the greatest football stories and love of the game movies of all times. Love this movie !

[sguinn]

Jerry Goldsmiths score makes this movie incredible!

[shilohpuppy]

I was actually at this game when they were filming. ND was playing Boston College and it was COLD! My dad and I ducked in a building to get warm before the game and we ran into the GT and ND "players" standing in a hallway. We couldn't figure out what was happening until halftime. That's when the public address informed us of the filming and informed the crowd to cheer wildly during the "plays" and when Sean Astin ran onto the field and when he "sacked" the QB! The crowd went crazy like it was real! Great memories! My dad is gone now but that memory will always be there for me! ND went on to throttle both GT AND Boston College that day!

[hikelabo]

Lordy!! I cry at this scene all the time.
