* * * * Culver City, CA (July 21, 2003) - A must-have for any sports fan, Columbia TriStar
Home Entertainment will release the acclaimed and moving motion picture RUDY in a specially
packaged collector's edition set featuring the Special Edition DVD plus the soundtrack CD with
the powerful music of Academy Award®-winning composer Jerry Goldsmith as an added
premium, together at the collectible price of $24.95 SLP on September 30.
* * * * In the winning tradition of Hoosiers, The Rookie and Remember the Titans, RUDY is an
immensely entertaining true story about the inspirational life of Rudy Ruettiger and an
unforgettable testament to the power of dreams and the triumph of the common man, starring
talented young actor Sean Astin of The Lord of the Rings trilogy fame. Co-starring Ned Beatty
(Just Cause), Lili Taylor (Ransom), Jon Favreau (Swingers) and Charles S. Dutton (Alien 3),
RUDY is "without a doubt, one of the finest sports movies ever made" (Michael Medved, New
York Post) and declared "the Rocky of the '90s" (Paul Wunder, WBAI Radio).
* * * * All his life, people have told Rudy he's not good enough, not smart enough, not big
enough. But nothing can stop his impossible dream of playing football for Notre Dame. From the
time he's a young boy, Rudy (Astin) is determined to join the Fighting Irish. But his blue-collar
family only laughs at his ambitions -- they know Rudy will follow his father and brothers to the
local steel mill. But some dreams won't die, as Rudy proves when he goes to heroic, occasionally
hilarious, lengths to win admission to Notre Dame. Once there, he becomes a walk-on player,
serving as little more than a human tackling dummy. *Bloodied but unbeaten, Rudy wins the
respect of legendary coach Ara Parseghian and the other Irish players, who give him one shot at
gridiron glory. * * * *
