Cast

Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino) - The head coach and general manager of the Miami Sharks. Having held his position for decades and given much autonomy by the elder Pagniacci, he is widely respected for leading his men to great successes; he gave most of his time to the team, and it led him to lose his wife and daughters. However, despite his legacy, D'Amato's traditional and old-fashioned methods have come under fire for poor results during the last seasons, including missing the playoffs several times. During the last few years, he also resents the hands-on-approach or "interference" of Christina Pagniacci, who succeeded her father as team owner. Tony D'Amato is based on longtime Dallas Cowboys head coach Tom Landry. Alfredo James Pacino (born April 25, 1940) is an Academy, Golden Globe, Tony, BAFTA, Emmy, and SAG award winning American actor who is best known for playing the roles of Tony Montana in the 1983 film Scarface and Michael Corleone in The Godfather Trilogy . ...

Thomas Wade Landry (September 11, 1924 – February 12, 2000) was an American football player and coach. ...


Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz) - The new owner of the Miami Sharks who inherited that role from her father. Given the team's poor results in the last few years, which she attributes to Coach D'Amato's "old-school methods", she attempts to take a more hands-on approach to the team, including bringing in modern offensive coordinator Nick Crozier. She has hinted several times that D'Amato will not return after his contract expires, adding to his distractions. She also begins political maneuvers that cause confrontation with the AFFA Commissioner and the Mayor of Miami. It is also speculated that she is a lesbian, as, she gives a glance to another woman at a stadium's VIP box. Christina Pagniacci is also based of current Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Cameron Michelle Diaz (born August 30, 1972) is an American actress and former fashion model. ... Jerrel Wayne Jerry Jones (Born on October 13, 1942) is the owner of the Dallas Cowboys NFL franchise and the Dallas Desperados AFL franchise. ...


Jack 'Cap' Rooney (Dennis Quaid) - The starting quarterback of the Miami Sharks. A favourite of Coach D'Amato, the two have been credited with the team's greatest on-field successes. However, Rooney is now an aging veteran who is losing motivation and faces conflicts with team personnel and his own family. Relations have soured between himself and his wife Cindy (Lauren Holly) who consistently goads him on without sympathy to his physical or mental situation (it is implied that Cindy married Jack only because he was a well-paid athlete). He eventually is injured in a game and is replaced but tries to make a comeback later on. The character appears to be a composite of contemporary late career QBs Dan Marino (whose house is seen as Rooney's in the film) and John Elway (Rooney's mid-air spin while scoring is nearly identical to Elway's famous dive for a first down during the third quarter of Super Bowl XXXII.)

Dr. Harvey Mandrake (James Woods) - The team physician for the Miami Sharks. He is a crooked doctor who risks the injury of players to enable the team to have a better shot at winning. He is later fired after his practices are discovered by the team internist. For other persons named James Woods, see James Woods (disambiguation). ...


'Steamin' Willie Beamen (Jamie Foxx) - The third-string quarterback for the Miami Sharks who takes over as starter after an injury to Rooney. Though surprisingly successful, Beamen causes tension among staff and teammates, as he frequently changes the plays the coach calls or calls his own. He begins a singing career and even asks the team owner for a date. Although the movie was released before Michael Vick's career, Beamen's playing style is very similar to the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback. Beamen is based on former NFL quarterback Jeff Blake. Jamie Foxx (born December 13, 1967) is an American actor, singer, and stand-up comic. ... Michael Dwayne Vick (born June 26, 1980 in Newport News, Virginia) is an American football quarterback for the National Football Leagues Atlanta Falcons franchise. ...

Julian 'J-Man' Washington (LL Cool J) - The starting running back for the Miami Sharks. He is a very good back but becomes increasingly angry at Beamen for his cockiness and tendencies to call plays away from him. He is alternately motivated by incentive clauses in his contract. James Todd Smith III (born January 14, 1968), better known as LL Cool J, is an American hip hop artist and actor. ...


Luther 'Shark' Lavay (Lawrence Taylor) - The captain of the Miami Sharks' defense. Harvey has hidden that Shark is suffering from a previous injury. If he suffers a serious hit again, he may be killed or permanently disabled. The team's intern doctor informs him of the condition and Shark faces losing money from not making his incentive pay if he takes the doctor's advice. He also has a confrontation with Willie Beamen over the role of offense vs. defense in football. Lawrence Julius Taylor (born February 4, 1959, in Williamsburg, Virginia), commonly referred to as LT, is a retired Hall of Fame American football player. ...


Montezuma Monroe (Jim Brown) - The Defensive Coordinator of the Miami Sharks. He's vocal and brings high intensity to the defense and to the rest of the team in general. Tony D'Amato personally confides in Montezuma several times. Jahwon is smart cute likes football and is good For other persons named James Brown, see James Brown (disambiguation). ...


Nick Crozier (Aaron Eckhart) - The Offensive Coordinator of the Miami Sharks. Nick is an offensive guru brought in from Minnesota by Christina Pagniacci. Highly tech-savvy (making use of a laptop computer while calling plays), he is highly critical of Tony's offensive play calling, Willie's changing the plays in the huddle, and Julian's playing for contract incentives. Despite the tension between himself and head coach D'Amato, the latter recognizes Crozier's abilities and he is named the new head coach after D'Amato departs to lead an expansion franchise in New Mexico. Aaron Edward Eckhart (born March 12, 1968) is a Golden Globe-nominated American film actor. ...


Dr. Ollie Powers (Matthew Modine) - The intern doctor for the team and Harvey's nephew. He discovers Harvey covering for players who are suffering from near-career-ending injuries but are dosing on painkillers, steroids, and hormones to cover the pain. He faces his own dilemma in the need to relieve the players' pain vs. prescribing too much medication for the addicted players. Matthew Avery Modine (born March 22, 1959) is an American actor, perhaps most famous for playing Private Joker in Stanley Kubricks 1987 film, Full Metal Jacket. ...


Jack Rose (John C. McGinley) - A prominent sports reporter with his own cable show; a thinly disguised impression of Jim Rome. He shows an incredible distaste for all things D'Amato. John Christopher McGinley (born August 3, 1959) is an American actor, producer and screenwriter, most notable for his roles as Perry Cox in NBCs Scrubs and Sergeant Red ONeil in Oliver Stones Platoon. ... James Jim Rome (born October 14, 1964) is an American sports radio talk show host syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks, a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications. ...


Plot

The film features an ensemble cast. However, Pacino and Diaz's characters, Tony D'Amato and Christina Pagniacci, respectively, are more prominent and given top billing. An ensemble cast is a cast in which the principal performers are assigned roughly equal amounts of importance in a dramatic production. ...


It is about the Miami Sharks, a once-great team now in turmoil and struggling to make the playoffs. It takes a look at the different aspects of American football, including the players, staff, front office, politicians, and press, and the pressures that they face. United States simply as football, is a competitive team sport that is both fast-paced and strategic. ...


In the final game shown on screen, Miami manages a come-from-behind win in the dying seconds against the Dallas Knights, winning the first round of the playoffs. Off-screen, Miami beats Minnesota to go to the Panthean Cup, but loses to San Francisco in the final game.


At D'Amato's final press conference as head coach, all feuds have been resolved or at least put on hold and he leaves on a high, being thanked by owner Christina and the media for his contributions to the team. D'Amato then drops a bombshell and announces that he been hired as head coach and general manager of the expansion Albuquerque Aztecs, and signed Willie Beamen as his starting quarterback and franchise player. Despite the initial hysteria among the media and owners, they come to the consensus that this is the best solution because D'Amato and Crozier (backed by Christina) cannot co-exist.


Fictitious teams

It was filmed in Miami, Florida and Dallas, Texas. Miami's Orange Bowl stadium represents the home of the fictitious American football team, the Miami Sharks, while Texas Stadium is used for the home of the fictitious Dallas Knights. These and the other made-up teams, as well as their league Associated Football Franchises of America (AFFA), are based on the NFL. Miami redirects here. ...

United States simply as football, is a competitive team sport that is both fast-paced and strategic. ... Texas Stadium is the home field of the National Football Leagues Dallas Cowboys. ... NFL logo For other uses of the abbreviation NFL, see NFL (disambiguation). ...


At the end of the film, D'Amato laments to gathered media about his team's loss to San Francisco but does not reference their mascot. On the team schedule, the San Francisco Knights are mentioned, but this is likely a mistake, since the Dallas team has that nickname. A team called the Pharaohs is mentioned during the Minnesota game without any city, so it is possible they are the San Francisco Pharaohs. Millie, once mascot of the City of Brampton, is now the Brampton Arts Councils representative. ...

Production

Oliver Stone developed a script called Monday Night written by Jamie Williams, a former tight end for the San Francisco 49ers, and Richard Weiner, a sports journalist. Stone separately acquired the spec script On Any Given Sunday, by John Logan. Stone later amalgamated a third screenplay, Playing Hurt by Daniel Pyne, into the project. Jamie Williams (born February 25, 1960 in Vero Beach, Florida) is a former professional American football player who played tight end for twelve seasons in the NFL, mainly for the Houston Oilers and the San Francisco 49ers. ...

John Logan is a noted American screenwriter of the 1990s and early 2000s. ...


As of May 1, 1999, the screenplay's cover page listed the following writers: original draft by Jamie Williams & Richard Weiner, John Logan, Daniel Pyne; subsequent revisions by Gary Ross; revisions by Raynold Gideon & Bruce A. Evans; revisions by John Logan; revisions by Lisa Amsterdam & Robert Huizenga; latest revisions by Oliver Stone.

William Oliver Stone (born September 15, 1946), known as Oliver Stone, is a three-time Academy Award winning film director and screenwriter. ...


The Writers Guild of America ultimately awarded screenplay credit to Logan and Stone, with "story" credit to Pyne and Logan. Williams and Weiner went uncredited for their original screenplay, but were credited for their work on the film as technical consultants. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is the collective bargaining representative, or labor union, for writers in the motion picture and television industries in the United States. ...


The screenplay was also based in part on the book You're Okay, It's Just a Bruise: A Doctor's Sideline Secrets by Robert Huizenga. Huizenga was the intern doctor for the L.A. Raiders in their 1980s heyday, working under Dr. Rosenfield, who dismissed many players' injuries with the phrase, "You’re okay, it's just a bruise." James Woods' character was based on Rosenfield, and his first diagnosis of "Cap" Rooney's career-threatening injury at the beginning of the film is "you're okay, it's just a bruise." Huizenga left the Raiders in the early 1990's, disgusted at the way the medical advice was kept from players and Rosenfield being allowed to continue treating them after several mishaps, one of which is closely mirrored in the film - Shark's neck injury and risk of sudden death.
