Synopsis of Yesterday’s Hero (movie)
You don’t always get a second chance to relive your glory days. When the opportunity comes, take it.
Rod Turner (Ian McShane) is a 35-year-old ex-soccer whiz who one day gets a second chance to reach for the brass ring.
Suzanne Somers is Cloudy Martin, a sophisticated jet setter and international musical sensation. Once lovers, Rod left Cloudy in search of his own pursuits. Now, years later, they meet again when Cloudy’s singing partner and boyfriend, Clint Simon, hires Rod for the professional soccer team he owns.
In spite of the team’s fiendish manager — and a suddenly complex personal life as he once again gets involved with his ex, now the girlfriend of his new boss — Rod is determined to make this second chance work.
With an upbeat, pulsating soundtrack, top-notch sports photography and excellent performances, this is a film that will make you root for the underdog.
Yesterday’s Hero is a story that sports enthusiasts, romance lovers, and music ears will enjoy. It’s a film to remember.
