Rudy

“It's not the size of the dog in the fight, It's the size of the fight in the dog.”

Nobody in Rudy Ruettiger's steel mill town expects anything of him but a job at the mill, so no one can say why Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger (Sean Astin) has fixed on playing football for Notre Dame. His grades are low, his skills are poor, and he is half the size of the players he wants to join. David Anspaugh shot on the Notre Dame campus itself, the first film allowed to since 1938.
