Who can resist a sports underdog tale? Especially one inspired by an astonishing true story? This is exactly what new film The Boys in the Boat is, an uplifting drama that transports us to 1930s Depression-era America, following a young rowing team as they fight against all the odds, competing against richer crews before heading to the 1936 Olympics where they faced the Nazis.
Directed by George Clooney, here helming his ninth feature film, the movie has a starry cast that includes Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore's Callum Turner as rower Joe Rantz and Star Wars' Joel Edgerton as the team's coach Al Ulbrickson.
