Der Sprung nach oben (1994)
Bis ins tiefste Afrika verschlägt es Assistenzcoach Jimmy Dolan auf seiner Suche nach einem neuen Basketballstar. Als Jimmy Dolan den Häuptlingssohn Saleh entdeckt, will er ihn sofort für sein Team verpflichten. Kein Problem - denkt Dolan. Doch der afrikanische Star kann sein Volk wegen einer Stammesfehde nicht verlassen. Jetzt setzt Jimmy alles auf eine Karte. Er unter-zieht sich den Stammesritualen und kämpft auf Salehs Seite. Am Ende soll ein Basketballspiel die Entscheidung bringen ...
