Sylvester Stallone’s latest project has an incredible story behind it. The 76-year-old actor doesn’t star in MVP, but he did executive
produce the new film, which is the directorial debut of NFL alum and Green Beret veteran Nate Boyer.

MVP is based on the true story of the formation of Merging Vets & Players, a nonprofit founded by Boyer and Fox Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer,
~
which empowers and connects combat veterans and former professional athletes, providing them with a new team to assist with transition to civilian life, promote personal development, and show them they are never alone.

The film follows a recently retired NFL player (Mo McCrae) and a homeless veteran suffering from PTSD (Boyer), as they bond amid their search for real purpose and identity.
