Your entire family will be entertained and inspired when you watch the powerful and triumphant movie Remember the Titans, debuting on video and Disney DVD on March 20.

Academy Award® winner* Denzel Washington gives a victorious performance in this stirring and uplifting film. Based on a real-life drama, Remember the Titans is a rousing celebration of how a town torn apart by friction and mistrust comes together in triumphant harmony.

The year is 1971. After leading his team through 15 winning seasons, football coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton) is demoted and replaced by Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) -- tough, opinionated, and as different from the beloved Yoast as he could be. How these two men overcome their differences -- and turn a group of hostile young men into champions -- plays out in a remarkable and triumphant story full of soul and spirit. You and your family will never forget the Titans.

The movie is produced by blockbuster filmmaker Jerry Bruckheimer, who also produced hits such as "Gone in 60 Seconds," "Enemy of the State," and "Armageddon," as well as the upcoming theatrical film "Pearl Harbor."

All across America coaches have found another way to rev up their teams before a big game: They take their players to see Remember the Titans. The UC Berkeley football coach, determined to end his team's four-game losing streak, took his team to see "Titans" and the next day beat UCLA (46-38) in three overtimes. The film has proved to be unbelievably motivating and inspiring for all.

The DVD offers special bonus features, including two audio commentaries -- one with real-life coaches Herman Boone and Bill Yoast, and the second with director Boaz Yakin, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and writer Gregory Allen Howard. Plus it has six additional scenes not shown in theaters, two exclusive featurettes, and an ABC Special, "Remember the Titans: An Inspirational Journey Behind the Scenes," hosted by Lynn Swann.
