Amazing Grace and Chuck
After seeing a Minuteman missile on a school field trip, Chuck Murdock, a 12-year-old Montana child and the son of a military jet pilot, becomes frightened. He refuses to play baseball in protest of nuclear weapons, causing his team to forfeit a Little League game. A fictional Boston Celtics player named "Amazing Grace" Smith, played by NBA legend Alex English, decides to join the youngster in his protest by resigning from professional basketball. This broadens its reach, encouraging more professional athletes to join the anti-nuclear weapons movement. When the President of the United States meets with Chuck in person, he admires his determination while also addressing the real problems of disarmament. Meanwhile, Amazing Grace and his agent, Lynn, are under assault from sinister forces.
