Starring Morgan Freeman (The Dark Knight, Unforgiven) and Matt Damon (Ocean's Thirteen, The Departed), Invictus is a film that brings the raw emotion of sport - as well as its unique potential to heal social division - vividly to the silver screen, just in time for World Cup fever this June. Invictus tells the inspirational true story of a newly elected President, Nelson Mandela, trying to rally his divided post-Apartheid nation around an underdog sports team. With the world's eyes on his nation at the 1995 World Cup, he attempts to bring his racially and economically divided people together by joining forces with the captain of South Africa's rugby team, Francois Pienaar. Together, the new allies forge ahead and take the rugby tournament by storm leading the national team right up to the final. What happens next is the stuff of legend?
