How far would you go to get a million dollars? A young couple is presented with a box that would let them push a button for a big payday -- but each one would cause a stranger to die.

Soccer is serious business in England, and no one takes it lightly when things go awry. The Damned United chronicles the comical, tragic, 44-day tenure of Brian Clough as the manager of Leeds United.
