Once Upon a Time in Queens: The Wild Ride of the '86 Mets

In 1986 the Mets were loved and hated – it was the best time to be a baseball player. Much more than a sports story, this multi-part documentary film will tell the story of a singular baseball team that blazed like a comet across the New York City skyline three decades ago. Full of larger-than-life characters, this team transformed a dirty, crime-ridden, nearly-bankrupt city into a monument to success and excess.
