SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – sports.ksl.com’s Bracket of Movies continues with a second round matchup of the 5 and 21 seeds.

No. 5-seed The Natural took down No. 28-seed Victory in the first round. The 1984 film stars Robert Redford, Robert Duvall and Glenn Close as an unknown comes seemingly out of nowhere to become a legendary player with almost divine talent.

No. 21-seed Rudy pulled off the upset over No. 12 The Wrestler in the first round. The 1993 film with Sean Astin, Jon Favreau and Ned Beatty is about Rudy, who has always been told that he was too small to play college football. He is determined to overcome the odds and fulfill his dream of playing for Notre Dame.
