Who's in it?
What's it about? This edgy, thrilling documentary chronicles the tale of how a powerful group of entertainment moguls, a scrappy team of rag-tag athletes and a city in need of a rousing boost pulled together to create a phenomenon that in turn forged the soccer moms of today. Narrated by Academy Award-nominee Matt Dillon, ONCE IN A LIFETIME: THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE NEW YORK COSMOS reveals how the Cosmos rose from total anonymity to become the hottest ticket in town -- taken under the wing of Warner Bros. Chairman Steve Ross, beloved by rock stars and fashionistas -- only to be overwhelmed by a wild world of wealth, groupies, rivalries and power struggles.
------------------------------
In the midst of blackouts, riots, the Son of Sam serial killer scare and the dawn of Studio 54, came an entirely unexpected moment of inspiration: the rise of the New York Cosmos, America's first great soccer team, and its larger-than-life superstar, Pele. But swept up in a careening path of glory, glamour, debauchery and controversy, the Cosmos themselves imploded.
