Great Underdog Movies That Have Nothing to Do With Sports According to Ranker
"Hollywood loves a good underdog story, especially when it comes to sports. We've seen them in boxing ('Rocky'), ice hockey ('Miracle'), football ('Rudy'), basketball ('Hoosiers'), baseball ('The Bad News Bears'), and even bobsledding ('Cool Runnings'). Those are just a few examples. There are many, many more. These films get audiences rooting for the little guys, and cheering on those occasions where they win. Not all underdog movies are about sports, though. Some of the greatest ever made have been about other subjects, ranging from lawsuits, to historical battles, to efforts to unionize a group of factory workers. The following films tell stories about underdogs in these and other situations. They may not be about sports, but they do a fine job of putting viewers on the edge of their seats, hoping that the underdogs will triumph. Some do, some don't. All of them nevertheless take on a massive challenge that initially seems impossible." - ranker.com
