The movie, on the whole, was pretty accurate. There was really a Rudy who did make Notre Dame as a walk on, and he did get a sack against Georgia Tech in the last Home Game. However, according to people directly involved with the story, (those being Joe Montana and Dan Davine) said that the scene which the players laid down their jerseys so Rudy would play was completely fabricated, as was the chanting of his name through out the stadium. Joe also said that when they carried Rudy off the field at the end, it was more of horsing around than a deep emotional moment.

So, Rudy was mostly accurate in terms of plot structure, yet there were a few Hollywood improvs thrown in for dramatic effect. Regardless, it was still a good film.

The movie Rudy is a true story about Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, who dreamed of playing football at Notre Dame despite many shortcomings.
