Robert Quinn, AKA Bob, is arguably the greatest football player in the 150-year history of the Port Adelaide Football Club. He lived a rich and astounding life and is unique in winning two Magarey Medals and one Medal of Honour for valour during the Second World War.

Told through intimate interviews with his son, Greg Quinn, and a number of historians and football greats, and using stylised re-enactments and archival material, the film appeals to both fans of football and avid historians.
The film is a moving, revelatory story that is both a portrait of a remarkable human and an exploration of universal themes of courage, commitment, loyalty and resilience.

It’s a film that looks to the past as a benchmark for modern virtue. It uses the theatre of war and the spectacle of sport to explore themes that ask us to question what it means to rise to greatness and how heroism can often manifest in the most humble of moments.
