Draft Day

On the day of the NFL Draft, Cleveland Browns general manager Sonny Weaver Jr. (Kevin Costner) is handed the chance of a lifetime: a blockbuster trade that puts the number one overall pick within his reach. What follows is a tense, fast moving race against the clock as Weaver weighs the future of a struggling franchise against the price of chasing perfection. Every phone call, every trade offer, and every gut decision could either save his job or end his career. Directed by Ivan Reitman, Draft Day blends high pressure sports drama with real human stakes. Weaver is juggling a demanding team owner (Frank Langella), a skeptical head coach (Denis Leary), the recent loss of his father, and the news that his girlfriend and colleague Ali (Jennifer Garner) is expecting their child. The strong supporting cast includes Chadwick Boseman, Sam Elliott, Terry Crews, and Ellen Burstyn. You do not need to know the rules of football to get pulled into this story. It is a smart, character driven look at ambition, loyalty, and the nerve it takes to bet on yourself when everyone is watching. Runtime 110 minutes. Rated PG-13. Watch Draft Day online now in HD.
