From the writer of 'Old School', this is comic-of-the moment Will Ferrell’s new sports comedy set in 1976, against the backdrop of the maverick ABA – a league that rivaled the NBA and made a name for itself with innovations like the three-point shot and slam dunk contest.
Jackie Moon (Ferrell), a one-hit wonder who used the profits from the success of his chart-topping song 'Love Me Sexy' to achieve his dream of owning a basketball team. But Moon's franchise, the Flint Michigan Tropics, is the worst team in the league and in danger of folding when the ABA announces its plans to merge with the NBA. This sets up, in an exceptionally radical move in the history of motion pictures, a storyline in which the Tropics must win to survive.
