01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

''The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh'' tells the story of a struggling professional basketball team, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Pythons, whose continuous losing streak and lack of talent has made them the laughing stock of Pittsburgh. Several players ask to be transferred to other teams, partly due to the bad publicity and the presence of the difficult but highly paid star player, Moses Guthrie (Julius Erving).
