Rocket Man

After moving to America Nick Wideman – son of a Greek sprinter and an American pole vaulter – is dumbfounded when he is criticized by the black community and ostracized by whites for transferring to all-black Central High School in an attempt to join a nationally acclaimed 400-meter relay team whose runners are so fast they are called Rocket Men. A school-boy’s crush on pretty brown Mia Hunter only adds fuel to the fire as Nick battles reverse discrimination and stiff competition to make the team.
