Kurt Warner's story almost seems too good to be true.
The Iowa native and Hall of Fame quarterback went from stocking shelves at the supermarket to throwing touchdown passes in the Super Bowl.
Warner's fairytale story of sitting the bench in college and waiting for his shot to shine in the professional ranks is now being shared on the big screen.
The movie "American Underdog" tells Warner's story of tragedy, tough times and ultimately triumph. With the film hitting theaters nationwide on Dec. 25, the Des Moines Register caught up with Warner last month.
In a lengthy interview, Warner gave a behind the scenes look at how the movie-making process went.
