Eight Men Out | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

This "authentic, funny and very touching" (Sneak Previews) film about the infamous 1919 Chicago White Sox scandal scored a home run with audiences across the globe! And now, in celebration of its 20th Anniversary, this Special Edition DVD serves up a thrilling grand slam of special features including a behind-the-scenes commentary, a documentary and more! John Cusack and Charlie Sheen lead a "superb ensemble of actors" (Newsweek) as young idealistic players on the White Sox, who, despite being pennant winners, are treated with disdain by their penny-pinching owner/manager. Ripe for a money-making scheme, the demoralized team agrees to throw the World Series. But when they're defeated, a couple of sports writers smell a fix, and a national scandal explodes, ripping the cover off America's favorite pastime in "the movie baseball fans have been waiting for" (USA Today).
