The movie is based on true events of the 1957 Little League World Series and features the first non-American team to ever win a Little League World Series title. The children are coached by the former janitor who claims that he used to coach the renowned St. Louis Cardinals and takes the children under his wing. When they arrive in the United States they are met with animosity and racism, and have a laundry list of issues to deal with. It is a story of underdogs rising to the challenge, in a situation where no one had given them a fighting chance. Despite being heavy underdogs, they defeat team after team and end up winning the title.
