 Set against the backdrop of a turbulent era in Brazil, this biographical drama chronicles Pelé’s extraordinary journey in leading Brazil to its first FIFA World Cup victory at the age of 17. The film stars Kevin de Paula, Vincent D'Onofrio, Rodrigo Santoro, Diego Boneta, with Colm Meaney, and a cameo of Pelé himself. Born and raised in a poor neighbourhood of Brazil, Pelé’s early years see him doing menial jobs while continuing to hone his passion and skills in soccer. Stricken with poverty and no powerful means, young Pelé utilizes his one true power: perseverance under the guidance from manager Vicente Feola (Vincent D'Onofrio), to lead the nation to a proud victory in 1958!
