Glory Road is an American film directed by James Gartner, released on January 13, 2006.
The film is based on a true story dealing with the events leading to the 1966 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship, in which Don Haskins, head coach of the Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso) led a team with an all-black starting lineup, a first in NCAA history. The film follows a semi-fictional version of this tale.
