Mcfarland Movie (2015) Synopsis - Plot Summary
In 1987, in Corona, CA football coach Jim White is
chastising his players for an underwhelming half. Jim gets into a verbal
altercation with one of the players, resulting in Jim throwing a football shoe
with cleats at him. Following this incident, Jim is forced to move with his
wife, Cheryl, and two daughters, Julie and Jamie. They settle down in
McFarland, California, a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. On their first
night there, the family goes to a small restaurant and leaves to find a large
gathering of Latinos in cars surrounding the place. One man makes suggestive
motions toward Julie, prompting the family to leave faster.
White starts his new job as the life science/PE
teacher and assistant football coach at school. During Jim's PE class, three
boys, the Diaz brothers Danny, Damacio, and David, are forced by their mother
to leave. During the school's football game, one of the players, Johnny
Sameniego, gets injured on the field. The head coach wants him to get back out
there, but White orders Johnny to sit out, which angers the head coach.
The coach complains to Principal Camillo about Jim's
actions during the game and demands that he step down. During the next day's PE
class, Jim sits on the bleachers and watches the boys run around the track with
Jamie joining him. She comments that the boys, particularly Victor and Johnny
(who got cut from the football team) move very fast. Jim goes to Camillo to
convince him to let him start a cross country team to compete in the upcoming
state championships. Jim also enlists Johnny's help to recruit six more runners
for the team, starting with Victor. Johnny asks the Diaz brothers, as well as
two other students – Jose Cardenas and Thomas Valles. Thomas has gotten in
trouble at school for being involved in altercations with other boys that
mocked his younger sister for getting pregnant, so Jim negotiates for him to
join the team to avoid suspension. Although the boys are initially reluctant,
they agree to join the team and run with Jim across the town, with Danny
lagging behind as he is the heaviest of the Diez brothers on the team.
After some training, the team goes to their first
meet in Palo Alto as boys from the other schools taunt the McFarland team. The
race commences, and the McFarland team finishes in last place. Knowing the boys
are disappointed, Jim takes full responsibility for the loss to not let them
get discouraged.
Having been late for his daughter's birthday, Jim
goes for a drive and sees Thomas sitting on a bridge over the road. He
approaches him and notices a bruise on his eye, which Thomas says was his own
fault because he tried to stop his father from hurting his hands so that he
could keep working. Jim talks him down and tells him that he has good things
ahead of him, encouraging him to continue doing something worthwhile.
The Diaz brothers are pulled out of the team by
their father, who wants them to keep working the fields. Jim goes to the
brothers' home, and the next morning goes out to work on the fields with them.
The team goes up for another race to qualify for the championships. The team
competes, and manage to just break into the top four teams, enough to qualify.
Meanwhile, a coach from Palo Alto gives Jim a card, saying he is interested in
an open full-time position.
The people in town learn that Julie just turned 15
and decide to help organize a quinceañera for her. They bring Cheryl, Julie,
and Jamie to the salon while everyone sets up at home. Thomas gives her a
bracelet that his grandmother made. Later, Javi and Lupe offer to take Julie
out for her own "parade", with Thomas accompanying them. Not long
after, their car is confronted by a group of punks that bother Javi. The
authorities contact Jim, forcing him and Cheryl to drive to the scene and find
Julie on the ground, with scrapes on her legs and shaking tearfully. Jim is
angry over this, despite being assured that Julie was protected.
Jim meets with the Palo Alto district for the
coaching position. The boys and his family learn about this, and are upset with
him. He tells Cheryl that he could bring them the better life that he promised
them. Cheryl argues that they have settled in just fine here and it would be
wrong for Jim to abandon the team and the friends they have made. The day
arrives for the state championships. The whole community goes out to support
the team. The race commences, shortly after Jim notices that Jose is moving too
fast and worries that he will overexert himself. Thomas runs faster to pick up
the slack as Jose starts to slow down. Thomas ends up crossing the finish line
first, while the others come in closely. Jim worries when he does not see Jose,
but to both his and Thomas's surprise, it is Danny that runs faster and picks
up the slack.
The judges tally their scores together and McFarland
comes in first, and the team and town celebrates while Jim turns down the job
offer from Palo Alto to remain in McFarland.
