Uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer swears the most "Hollywood" scenes in his new reality-based drama "Glory Road" actually happened.
And who knows better about slick, sappy Hollywood moments than Mr. Bruckheimer?
He's been stringing them together so long it's hard to recall a time when his thumbprints weren't all over the box office charts.
"Glory Road" chronicles the barrier-breaking Texas Western basketball team that won the NCAA championship in 1966 with an all-black starting squad. Up until then, teams featured one or two black players at best, never more.
