Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game

“Find what you want and take the shot.”

Roger Sharpe (Mike Faist) writes for GQ and plays pinball better than almost anyone in New York, a skill his father, Mr. Sharpe (Dennis Boutsikaris), has never taken seriously. In 1976 the city still bans the machines, a law that has stood for 35 years, and Roger sets out to overturn it. Austin and Meredith Bragg follow him with Ellen (Crystal Reed) beside him, a man in a jacket and tie at the glass, bumpers flashing.
