The MPI Original Film Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game continues to captivate audiences and critics alike, earning a spot in Screen Rant’s list of Mike Faist’s “10 Best Movies and TV Shows.” Appearing alongside celebrated projects like West Side Story, The Bikeriders, and Challengers, Pinball secures the #4 spot on this impressive lineup.

Based on a remarkable true story, Pinball recounts the journey of Roger Sharpe, played by Faist, a GQ journalist and pinball aficionado who, in 1976, helped overturn New York City’s decades-long ban on the game. The film also features Crystal Reed (Teen Wolf, Gotham) and Dennis Boutsikaris (Better Call Saul, Billions). Notably, Pinball earned high praise from The New Yorker critic Richard Brody, who ranked it among his top three films of its release year, further highlighting its critical acclaim.

You can stream Pinball on platforms like Hulu, Apple TV, and Prime Video and dive into the fascinating history of this iconic game!
