Storyline

Based on a true story, 'The Goal' is an uplifting story that will touch your heart like no other. It is the compelling story of faith, and the miracles God sends to us when faced with adversity. Steve and Jason are two talented and goal-oriented athletes, one on track to the Olympics and the other to Pro Soccer. Tragic accidents bring them together. With the help of family and God, the young men conquer the obstacles and challenges before them as they start to rebuild their lives. These two adrenaline-rush junkies discover a team sport worthy of their highly competitive spirit, Quad Rugby. This fast-paced sport designed for quadriplegics combines elements of basketball, football and ice hockey. Quad Rugby is also known as Murderball because of the aggressive nature of the game. The sport renews their vigor, and Steve and Jason start to live life again, a new life that is different not over.
