The Rock and Wife Dana

Gridiron Gang stars Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Xzibit, L. Scott Caldwell, and Kevin Dunn. It was filmed in California at Camp Kilpatrick a Los Angeles County Probation Department facility. It is loosely based on the true story of the Kilpatrick Mustangs during the 1993 season, the very first in which they had football. Kilpatrick is a facility located in Malibu, California, for juveniles with multiple offenses, many of them gang members.

Synopsis: The uplifting story of detention camp probation officer Sean Porter (Johnson), who creates a high-school-level football team from a ragtag group of dangerous teenage inmates as a means to teach them self-respect and social responsibility. He is joined in this experiment by co-worker, Malcolm Moore (Xzibit). But Porter must first overcome almost universal resistance from the powers that be -- his skeptical bosses and coaches at rival high schools who don't want their players mixing it up with convicted criminals on the football field.
