Finales de los años 60, siete desconocidos, cada uno con su propio secreto, se reúnen en El Royale, un ruinoso hotel con un oscuro pasado. En el transcurso de una fatídica noche, todos tendrán su oportunidad de redención… antes de que todo se vaya al infierno.
Roy Knable (John Ritter) se pasa el día delante del televisor a pesar de las quejas de Helen (Pam Dawber), su mujer. Un día Roy recibe la extraña visita de Spike (Jeffrey Jones), un hombre que establece un pacto con él: le entrega lo último en antenas parabólicas de TV por satélite; pero, a cambio, Roy le vende su alma al diablo. El resultado es que Roy y Helen se encuentran de repente atrapados dentro del televisor, y serán sus hijos Darryl (David Tom) y Diane (Heather McComb) los que tendrán que rescatarlos. (FILMAFFINITY)
To teach a team of Russian wanna-be baseball players the finer points of the all-American game is no easy task, but for a grudgingly resentful, recently fired baseball manager from the States, the task is formidable. In fact, there are many times when he considers chucking the whole thing and going back home and forgetting baseball entirely. But he perseveres... to the point where he finally believes that his players may be good enough to represent the Soviet Union in the upcoming Olympics in America. However, performing in this Country under such pressures not only shows these Russian players something about themselves, it also makes their American manager aware of something rather special about himself, as well.
