In 1943, a washed-up ballplayer is hired to coach in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League while the male pros are at war. Reluctant at first, he finds himself drawn back into the game by the heart and heroics of his team. Based on a true story.

Two slackers from California join the Army reserves to make a quick buck, but end up being called for duty. They are sent to the desert in Chad, but mistakenly end up behind enemy lines in Libya where they are captured. With their fellow misfits, they have to find their way back to safety and freedom.
