Touchback

Touchback (2011) is an American family drama with a fantasy twist you can watch online on iFILM. Don Handfield directs Brian Presley, Kurt Russell, and Melanie Lynskey. Years ago Scott was his town's high-school football hero, until an injury in the big game wiped out his scholarship, his college plans, and the career everyone expected.

Now he scrapes by on a failing farm, volunteers at the fire station, and can't shake the question of what might have been. Then he's handed the thing everyone secretly wants: a chance to go back to that exact day and play the final over again. The catch is that the price of a second chance isn't what he imagined. Kurt Russell plays the old coach who understands Scott better than Scott understands himself.

At heart it's a gridiron spin on It's a Wonderful Life — a reminder that the grass always looks greener, while the life you've got is often already enough. Warm, easy viewing for a family night. Stream Touchback (2011) online on iFILM.
