An ingenious Yankee mechanic, knocked unconscious in a fight, awakens to find himself at

Camelot in A.D. 528. Imprisoned by Sir Kay the Seneschal and exhibited before the knights of the Round

Table, he is condemned to death but saves himself by posing as a magician like Merlin, correctly predicting

an eclipse, and becoming minister to King Arthur. He increases his power by applying nineteenth-century

knowledge of gunpowder, electricity, and industrial methods. However, when he attempts to better the

condition of the peasantry he meets opposition from the church, the knights, Merlin, and the sorceress

Morgan le Fay.

In 1976, Vince Papale was a down-on-his-luck substitute teacher, part-time bartender, and season ticket holder for the Philadelphia Eagles, the team he’d grown up rooting for. He had always loved football, but the closest he’d ever come to playing on Sundays was in local rough touch leagues. Until fate stepped in...

 

Vince was thirty years old and wondering what he would do with his life, when he heard that Coach Dick Vermeil was holding open tryouts for the Eagles. He had nothing to lose, and with the coaches eyeing him, he ran an explosive 40-yard dash in just 4.5 seconds - a world-class time - and was offered a contract on the spot. But, as much as his speed, it was Vince’s heart that impressed Vermeil. But there was more to the story – Vince’s success was tempered by a complicated family life, a past that continued to haunt him, even as a hometown football hero.

At its core, Invincible is an underdog story that will inspire others to pursue their dreams, too.
