Gridiron & Steel captures the cultural significance of a sport, the character of a locale, and the soul of a people. From the solemn faces of yesterday"s laborers to the smiles of their white-collar descendants, and from the pee-wee football fields of suburbia to Heinz Field, the true spirit of Western Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh is brought vividly to life in this film by the people who have been and are still guided by it.
