The Junction Boys is a 2002 American made-for-television sports drama film written and directed by Mike Robe, based on sportswriter Jim Dent's 2001 book of the same name. It is about the Junction Boys, the "survivors" of Texas A&M Aggies football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant's brutal 10-day summer camp in Junction, Texas, beginning September 1, 1954.^[1]^[2] The film stars Tom Berenger as Bear Bryant. It aired on ESPN on December 14, 2002.^[3]^[4]

Cast

Filming took place in Sydney, Australia, for budgetary reasons. Except for the American Berenger, the cast members were Australian, and were coached by a Texas-born dialect coach to use correct Texan accents. To bypass the differences between American and Australian rules football, the filmmakers recruited players from American football clubs in Australia for the football scenes.^[5]
