The Pistol Movie is the action-packed, heartwarming motion picture movie about the dedication of a parent to his child and the devotion of a boy to become the greatest basketball player ever.

The Pistol Movie Filmmakers Darrel Campbell and Rodney Stone go to great lengths to bring Pistol Pete fans this re-mastered sports classic, which is sure to be a great addition to any family movie collection. The Pistol Movie is the uplifting story of a scrawny eighth grade boy whose stunning basketball skills earn him a spot on the high school team! Unfortunately for young Pete Maravich (Adam Guier), his style of "showtime" basketball is way ahead of its time, making him the target of ridicule and socially separates him from his teammates. Against all odds, Pete perseveres with the constant encouragement of his mentor and father, Press Maravich (Days of Our Lives' Nick Benedict) and the love of his mother Helen (Academy Award Nominee Millie Perkins). The legend of college basketball's greatest scorer begins in the heart of a thirteen year old dreamer who soon becomes known to the world as The Pistol.
