The HBO produced documentary tracks the UNLV basketball team’s impact on the city of Las Vegas and its rise to national prominence under Jerry Tarkanian.

According to John Katsilometes at the Las Vegas Sun, the film depicts the duality of Tarkanian’s UNLV tenure.

Such triumphs as landing the nation’s best junior college player, Larry Johnson, are offset by grim footage of the infamous arrest of Lloyd Daniels, who was nabbed while trying to buy cocaine from an undercover agent in North Las Vegas. In one of the great PR nightmares in the city's history, the arrest video captured a handcuffed Daniels wearing a UNLV Rebels T-shirt; he never did don a UNLV uniform.
