PINBALL (The Man Who Saved The Game) is based on the true story of Roger C. Sharpe, the GQ journalist and real-life pinball wizard who in 1976 single-handedly overturned New York City’s 35-year ban on pinball machines. With Roger onboard as the Executive Producer and Technical Consultant, we are assured that this will be an accurate account of the events in 1976 that saved the silverball game.
