movie·PG-13·Apr 13, 2011·
Touchback is pure, apolitical storytelling that focuses on family, redemption, and small-town values with no ideological messaging. Its 0/10 woke score confirms it as safe, neutral entertainment.
Touchback is a straightforward 2011 sports fantasy drama centered on Scott Murphy, a former Ohio high school quarterback who suffers a career-ending knee injury in the state championship game.
Twenty years later as a struggling farmer and family man, he attempts suicide and wakes up back in 1991 with a chance to avoid the injury and pursue his scholarship. The story resolves around his choice between chasing glory and valuing his wife Macy, their two daughters, and small-town life, echoing classic tales like It's a Wonderful Life.
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
