Original Title:

Believe

Retired Man Utd. legend Sir Matt Busby (Brian Cox) coaches grieving prodigy / scamp Georgie (Jack Smith) and pals in a school-kid tournament. Character contrivances and predictable plot test the patience, while flashbacks to the1958 Munich Air Disaster strain for a pathos that never feels earned.

A well-meaning but corny football fable.
