Synopsis
:
Life
is a contact sport..... Oliver Stone takes on professional football,a sport
whose grace and delicacy are a good match for his filmmaking style. Tony
D'Amato (Al Pacino), the head coach of theMiami Sharks, won back-to-back
championships four years ago. But new team owner Christina Pagniacci (Cameron
Diaz) has little enthusiasm for the finer points of the game and is concerned
only with the bottom line. The longtime strongman of Tony's team has been
"Cap" Rooney (Dennis Quaid), a 39-year-old quarterback, but Christina balks
at renewing his contract. When Cap is injured during a game, third-string
rookie quarterback Willie Beaman (Jamie Foxx) goes on in his place and
becomes a major star. But Beaman ismostly interested in fame and money,
and he has little regard for Tony and his teammates. Any Given Sunday also
stars James Woods as the team's doctor, LL Cool J as a star running back,
Jim Brown as a former football great turned Sharks' defensive co-ordinator,
Ann-Margret as Christina's alcoholic mother, Bill Bellamy as a drug-addicted
wide receiver, Elizabeth Berkley as Tony's favorite prostitute, and Charlton
