Director Spike Lee looks at basketball and how far the sport will look the other way to protect and acquire key players. The plot hinges on a convict father (Denzel Washington) who'll get early parole if he can persuade his son to play for the governor's alma mater. But that's just a pick-and-screen for an examination of sports, authority, race and class.
