An injured college athlete, accused of taking steroids, falls for a stripper, but is unable to perform sexually. Road To Victory is a thoughtful look at the role of gender in the patient/physician relationship, limits imposed on physicians by changes in the health-care industry, and even the limits of drugs designed to replace the physicians. It asks the question of what level of fidelity is acceptable in a relationship where sex isn't possible. And lastly, it looks behind sensationalized media headlines over steroid abuse, at the human elements that really drive athletes to succeed, and the price associated with the choices required to achieve that success.

Reviews for Road to Victory
Resourcefully intriguing, sentimental and cunningly relevant, Road to Victory juggles its revolving subject matters with effortless candor and consideration.
A film that deserves your attention, if just to note that someone is handling a serious subject like impotence with respect and to mark the debut of a multi-talented young man.
It was powerful, thought-provoking and held my interest right up to the end.
The reach of this film goes beyond addressing itself to one couple or even something as broad as the whole field of sports medicine.
...this film -- despite its penchant for black-and-white narrative when many shades of grey are needed -- needs to be seen and discussed
Mike Reilly's film is so well put together and well acted that it was a joy to sit and watch what was an apparent work of love...
... hopefully what I write might encourage someone to seek out a film. Such is the case with Road to Victory, the debut feature of writer-director-actor Mike Reilly.
