The second movie of our 2023 Summer Film Series will be “The Game Plan” This biographical sports film from 2007 is about an NFL quarterback living the bachelor lifestyle who discovers that he has an 8-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

Bachelor football star Joe Kingman (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) seems to have it all. He is wealthy and carefree, and his team is on the way to capturing a championship. Suddenly, he is tackled by some unexpected news: He has a young daughter (Madison Pettis), the result of a last fling with his ex-wife. Joe must learn to balance his personal and professional lives with the needs of his child. “The Game Plan” is rated PG, and is 1 hours and 52 minutes long.

Bring your blankets and lawn chairs as we enjoy this film under the stars. Games and free snacks (while supplies last) will begin at 7 p.m., and the movie will start just after sundown. Due to rising costs, we won’t be providing a catered meal, but we will have extra packaged snacks on hand. You may bring your picnics and coolers, but please no pets or glass containers. 

This movie is being shown in conjunction with our upcoming exhibit A Spirit Can Ne’er Be Told…A Century of Aggie Football. Using original artifacts, as well as historical photographs, documents, and audiovisual materials, A Spirit Can Ne’er Be Told… will create an immersive exhibition environment in which visitors will get an up-close look at the team’s history, from its first official football game in 1894, through the era of Coach Jimbo Fisher. The exhibit will highlight significant accomplishments, important coaches, and notable players, as well as the unique traditions and celebrations Aggies have known and loved for a century and counting. A Spirit Can Ne’er Be Told…. will be on display in the Ansary Gallery of American History from August 28, 2023, until April 28, 2024.
