"Invincible" is a 2006 film directed by Ericson Core set in 1976. It is based on the true story of Vince Papale, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles. Mark Wahlberg portrays Papale and Greg Kinnear plays Dick Vermeil, Papale's coach. The movie was released in the US on August 25, 2006.

Plot

To spice things up for his organization, Philadelphia Eagles coach Dick Vermeil decides to hold open tryouts for a spot on the pro football team's roster. Vince Papale is a 30-year-old bartender who has just lost his part-time teaching job. He had gone to Saint Joseph's University on a track scholarship. Disgusted with his professional failure, his wife abruptly leaves him, taking all of their furniture with her and leaving a note saying that he never will be anything in the world.

With the support of all his friends from the neighborhood, Papale (Mark Wahlberg), goes out for an open tryout practice; catching the attention of coach Vermeil, he is invited to come along to training camp. Papale eventually makes the team, and in the game versus the New York Giants, he recovers a fumble and rushes for a touchdown, which leads to Vermeil's first victory with the Eagles.

Filming

The preseason/tryout scenes were filmed at Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania, and the Central High Lancers field during the July/August months of 2005. The crew used their locker room and field. The Lancers, who had a preseason, had to use Fairmount Park in West Philadelphia. The carnival scenes were filmed at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School in South Philadelphia at 2329 South Third Street. Some of the street scenes were filmed on location in Philadelphia. The remainder of the film was filmed in a former aircraft carrier parts warehouse on Langley Avenue in the Philadelphia Naval Business Center. They shared this facility with the floats for the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade.
