Paterno centers on Penn State's Joe Paterno in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal. After becoming the winningest coach in college football history, Paterno's legacy is challenged and he is forced to face questions of institutional failure in regard to the victims. Academy Award winner Al Pacino stars in the film's title role. Paterno is Pacino's third HBO collaboration with award-winning director Barry Levinson. The film also stars Riley Keough as Sara Ganim, the 23-year-old journalist who first reported on the Sandusky case for The Patriot-News; Kathy Baker as Sue Paterno, Joe's wife; Greg Grunberg and Larry Mitchell as Joe's sons, Scott and Jay Paterno; and Annie Parisse as Mary Kay Paterno, Joe's daughter.
