"The Pistol - Birth of a Legend" - Now On DVD!

The Pistol is the true story of ‘Pistol’ Pete Maravich (Adam Guier), a scrawny five-foot-two eighth grader. Pete Maravich had a dream he inherited from his father, Press Maravich (Nick Benedict). He believed that if he committed himself totally to his dream, that he would one day play professional basketball and win a championship ring.

He begins this quest as a child in 1959 and quickly learns all the odds are against him. As the smallest, slowest and youngest member of the team, he gets his big break when a key player is injured. Pete bucks tradition with his freewheeling style of play, passing behind his back and dribbling through his legs.

Including Academy Award® nominee Millie Perkins as Pete’s mother Helen, ‘The Pistol’ reveals the heart of an American sports legend. It gives the viewer a rare glimpse of one of the most unique father-son relationships in the history of sports.

Darrel Campbell and Rodney Stone now offer this unique and heartwarming motion picture to the public in two unique DVD editions. Complete with a new High Definition transfer from the original negative, an all-new surround sound mix and many special features, this is the movie you've been waiting to add to your home video collection.
