OUR VISION:
BREAKAWAY is on a mission to launch the next great sports movie franchise, and forever change the narrative / culture surrounding American soccer.
OUR GAME:
Welcome to America's world of underground soccer "money games".
Sometimes it’s $100 in the park.
Other times it’s gangland rivalries and a hundred grand on the line.
Violent. Gritty. Electrifying.
Our film is inspired by that game.
OUR STORY:
In every city in America there's a kid:
All the talent in the world, but no chance of being discovered.
The kid who could have gone pro if only the world had valued his potential.
The kid who slipped through the cracks.
Our film is inspired by that kid too.
