I asked Google Gemini AI to write a 250 word summary of this movie.
I added italics and pictures for completeness.
The Long Game is a heartwarming and inspiring drama based on a true story set in 1950s Texas. The film follows a group of young Mexican-American caddies, led by Joe Trevino (Julian Works), who, despite their exceptional golfing talent, are barred from playing on the exclusive country club course due to racial discrimination. When a determined new school superintendent, JB Peña (Jay Hernandez), arrives, he sees an opportunity to change the narrative.
Faced with prejudice and limited resources, Peña inspires the young caddies to form their own high school golf team. Against all odds, they (with additional help from golf club member Frank Mitchell (Dennis Quaid), and groundskeeper Pollo (Cheech Marin)) embark on a challenging journey to build their own practice course in the unforgiving desert landscape. As they hone their skills and develop a strong bond, the team faces relentless opposition and stereotypes. Their unwavering determination to succeed not only transforms their lives but also challenges the racial biases deeply rooted in their community. With the state championship in their sights, they aim to prove that talent, hard work, and unity can conquer any obstacle.
“The Long Game” is an excellent, heartwarming, movie based on a true story of 5 teens in Del Rio, Texas in 1956. Here is an article talking about each of the real people involved.
