The Bad News Bears
Die Bären sind los
Synopsis
The Bad News Bears follows the story of Morris Buttermaker (Walter Matthau), an alcoholic and former minor-league baseball player. He is recruited by a city councilman and attorney who filed a lawsuit against an ultra-competitive Southern California Little League that excluded the least skilled athletes, including his son, from playing.
In order to settle the lawsuit, the league agrees to add an additional team - the Bears - composed of the worst players in the whole Little League. Buttermaker becomes the coach of this unlikely team, which includes a near-sighted pitcher, an overweight catcher, a foul-mouthed shortstop, an outfielder dreaming of emulating Hank Aaron, and other unique characters.
Shunned by the more competitive teams and parents, the Bears struggle in their opening game, leading Buttermaker to recruit sharp-tongued pitcher Amanda Whurlizer (Tatum O'Neal) and troublemaker Kelly Leak (Jackie Earle Haley) to improve the team's performance.
As the Bears start winning games and make it to the championship game against the top-notch Yankees, tensions rise between Buttermaker and the Yankees' coach, Roy Turner (Vic Morrow). The game becomes intense, with aggressive plays and personal conflicts between the players.
Despite losing the championship game, the Bears celebrate their progress and teamwork. The condescending Yankees acknowledge their efforts, and the Bears defiantly respond, showing their determination for the next season. The movie ends with a joyous field celebration by the Bears, highlighting their camaraderie and spirit.
