"Amazing Grace and Chuck" is a 1987 film in which Chuck, a 12-year-old boy protests the existence of nuclear weapons by refusing to play baseball, which results in the forfeit of a Little League Baseball game by his team. "Amazing Grace" Smith, a fictional Boston Celtics basketball player, played by NBA star Alex English, also joins him in his protest by resigning from professional basketball.
