Sinopsis
Película basada en el libro de John Carlin "El factor humano" (Playing the enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed the World) y ambientada después de que Nelson Mandela saliera de la cárcel y se convirtiera en presidente de Sudáfrica. Poco después, en 1995, el país celebró el campeonato del mundo de rugby, tras años de ser excluidos de las competiciones debido al apartheid. Evento que Mandela (Morgan Freeman) impulsó y utilizó, con la ayuda de la estrella de rugby Francois Pienaar, como vía para acabar con el odio y la desconfianza existente durante décadas entre la población blanca y negra del país.
