The Boys in the Boat is based on the true story of the 1936 University of Washington crew team that represented the United States in the 1936 Summer Olympics. Shoved into the spotlight, this group of underdogs takes on elite rivals as they are doing everything they can to survive the Great Depression. The movie focuses on the coaches, including Al Ulbrickson, the student-athletes, notably Joe Rantz, and boat builder George Pocock.
