Invictus is a feature film based on Nelson Mandela’s life during the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa. Directed by Clint Eastwood, the film stars Morgan Freeman as the then South African President Mandela, and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, the South African team captain. The story is based on the John Carlin book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed a Nation.

Invictus is a look at Nelson Mandela after the end of apartheid. The story is about Mandela’s release from prison, his election as President of South Africa and his attempts to use the 1995 Rugby World Cup as a vehicle to bring his people together. Led by their captain Francois Pienaar, the South African team wins the tournament, upsetting the favorites New Zealand 15–12 in the final.

Just too bad that the accents doesn’t really suite the characters for the film.
