Angels in the Endzone is a 1997 American fantasy sports film directed by Gary Nadeau and starring Christopher Lloyd.
However, after a terrible accident in a rainstorm in which his father Peter, a former high school football star, dies, he feels demoralized and lonely and quits the team.
On the night that Jesse quits, his younger brother Kevin confronts him telling him that football was a major part of his life and that he belongs on the team.
At the same time elsewhere, Jesse begins to associate with shady teenage bookie Bodean and his friend Tyler, who had previously profited greatly over Westfield's losses, but have since started losing money due to their angel-assisted victories.
As Jesse scores the winning touchdown, he sees his father's spirit, and rushes over and hugs him, and soon after the team cheers and lifts him and Kevin into the air as Westfield celebrates their championship victory.
