Angels in the Outfield is a 1994 remake of the 1951 film of the same name. The film stars Danny Glover, Tony Danza and Christopher Lloyd , and features appearances from future stars, including Adrien Brody, Matthew McConaughey, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Neal McDonough. Unlike the original, which focused on the Pittsburgh Pirates as the team in heavenly need, the 1994 remake focuses on the California Angels, who started play ten years after the original film was released in 1951. The film does, however, make a connection to the Bucs by having its world premiere at the Pirates home at the... time, Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. The film spawned two direct-to-video sequels, Angels in the Endzone and Angels in the Infield, neither as successful as the original. Young foster children Roger and his friend J.P. love to sneak into baseball games of the hopelessly dreadful California Angels. Still in limited contact with his widower father, Roger asks when they will be a family again.
