The 15 Best Underdog Movies of All Time, Ranked by Whatnerd

"Everyone loves a good underdog story, whether it's about a rag-tag sports team or an ancient hero of old. When the odds are stacked against one who's willing to put it all on the line, that's when you can really feel the tension that hangs in the air as a film unfolds. Underdog movies are the modern David versus Goliath tales that have the power to make us sit with bated breath and hang on to see how things turn out. Whatever happens on screen can leave us elated to the heavens or utterly devastated. It takes skill to pull off a film like this. Here are my picks for the best underdog movies of all time, where you'll cheer for characters who pour their hearts and souls into overcoming the impossible." - whatnerd.com
