The Best of Times

Haunted by his performance at a crucial high school football game, a small-town banker decides to stage a rematch 13 years after the event. Robin Williams and Kurt Russell star.

Small-town banker Jack Dundee has never been able to live down the fact that he dropped an important pass during a crucial high-school football game. Likewise tainted for life is the team's star quarterback Reno Hightower, now a garage owner. Fed up with living his life under a cloud, Dundee hits upon a brilliant idea: he will stage a rematch - 13 years after the fact. Trouble beckons when Dundee's father-in-law announces that he's rooting for the opposition...
