The Air Up There is a 1994 comedic film directed by Paul Michael Glaser. It was a commercial for this film that inspired three college students (Craig Fass, Brian Turtle & Mike Ginelli) to invent the game and phenomenon known as Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Jimmy Dolan (Bacon) is a college basketball assistant-coach who wants to find a new star for his team since he believes this will get him a promotion to Head Coach at the school. He sees a home video of a prospect and travels to Africa to recruit him. Upon arriving to this continent, Dolan finds himself confronted not only with the challenges of basketball but also with the challenges of adjusting to and learning how to live in the midst of a brand-new culture. Dolan and Saleh both teach each other life lessons before they take the court for one final game with everything on the line.
