In its inaugural season, the 12-team league played before crowds that averaged 25,000 and garnered respectable TV ratings, winning over new fans with its aura of fun and flamboyance. But with success came expansion and new owners, including a certain high profile and impatient real estate baron whose vision was at odds with the league’s founders. Soon, the USFL was reduced to waging a desperate anti-trust lawsuit against the NFL, which yielded an ironic verdict that effectively forced the league out of business. Now, almost a quarter of a century later, Academy Award-nominated and Peabody Award-winning director Mike Tollin, a former USFL employee, showcases the remarkable influence of those three years on football history and attempts to answer the question, “Who Killed the USFL?” Bonus includes deleted scenes, footage of Donald Trump watching a USFL game, the USFL opening sequence, director's statements and a blooper reel.DVDs ARE REGION 1 UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
