SYNOPSIS

Based on a true story, THE MIGHTY MACS was inspired by Hall of Fame Coach Cathy Rush—a woman ahead of her time—who took a seemingly unnoticeable position as the head basketball coach at tiny Immaculata, an all-girls Catholic college in suburban Philadelphia. Courage and determination helped her overcome a myriad of obstacles and in the end lead a ragtag group of girls to the first-ever national championship in women’s college basketball.
