Teaming up with the national team’s captain, François Pienaar (Matt Damon), Mandela inspires the Springboks to aim for victory at the 1995 Rugby World Cup, hoping their success will foster national unity. Invictus is an uplifting, true story of leadership, resilience, and the power of sport to heal and inspire change.
