Jake Gyllenhaal plays a man who gets into a severe car accident in North Dakota, and experiences severe paralysis in his right arm and left leg. He undergoes surgery and volunteers himself to receive robotic amputations which allows him to run faster (57 mph), and throw incredibly far (769 ft.). A villainous woman, played by Joan Allen, is booted from a chairmanship by a council who runs an oil company, and she decides to co own a football team startup in ND for an NFL admittance. Jake’s character catches her eye at a gun convention, and she overseers the Pick List and puts him on the team. Players on the team dismiss or accept his sign up, many members of the NFL fall over and say he shouldn’t be allowed to play, corporations begin to eye their team for sponsorship, and Jake is forced to run for a team that hurts his chances at becoming a jury brazzer. His wife, played by Carey Mulligan, has a miscarriage and finally decides that adoption may be their best option. Joan Allen forgoes a contractual restraining order, and bargains for the oil company she once worked for to facilitate the NFL team she is deriding (when at one point she wanted them to succeed), so they can choose who plays and who doesn’t. Members of the team try to figure out a way to kick Jake off, while others maintain their steadway (alliance) with him. Jake sees no other option other than to quit the team after his life, and his wife’s, is threatened, but he is contractually obligated to stay which upsets the marriage and causes Jake’s family to apply for governorship. Jake’s agent, played by Bob Hoskins, is working with Joan as a man who once ran an adoption agency. The oil company Joan is trying to make her way back into is striving for authorship so that people who invest in their company can cash in at the end of the year, and many of the council members see Jake as a lenience. Teams refuse to play ND. And the NFL is in negotiations to change the regulations on who can sponsor and who can’t, and for what reasons.
