Dodgeball

Average Joe's Gym, a rundown fitness establishment, is on the brink of foreclosure by the predatory Globo Gym, owned by the egomaniacal White Goodman. To save his gym, owner Pete LaFleur assembles a ragtag team of misfits to compete in the Las Vegas dodgeball championship, where the prize money could be their only salvation.
