Im Mittelpunkt des Films stehen die skurrilen Abenteuer der Studentenverbindung Delta. Dabei wird erbarmungslos das amerikanische Collegeleben der 1960er parodiert. Neben John Belushi als gitarrenquälender, bierdosenzerquetschender, müllfressender Bluto Blutarsky sind Tom Hulce und Stephen Furst als unbedarfte Neuankömmlinge zu sehen. Gemeinsam machen sie ihren Professoren das Leben schwer und bringen Dekan Wormer, der insgeheim die Vernichtung der Verbindung plant, mit ihren üblem Scherzen zum Kochen. Während sich die Deltas den Rest der Studienzeit mit Alkohol, Sex und wilden Partys vertreiben, bleiben die schulischen Leistungen jedoch weitestgehend auf der Strecke...

North Philadelphia, PA – Kev, El and Andy are three men united by one struggle: they are trying to defy gravity. As part of the 700,000 prisoners released into society every year, they find themselves faced with a chilling outlook: 67% of ex-offenders re-offend within three years. What explains this invisible force that keeps former inmates in a seemingly unending cycle of incarceration? Filmed on the street over the course of two years, Pull of Gravity is an intimate portrait of these three men that confronts head-on the gritty details of lives cut short by poverty and drugs, where dealing is seen as the only route to economic prosperity, where using offers an escape from powerlessness, and where prison is too often the next stop. The film’s unfiltered lense captures its subjects as they lay bare their stories, fears, and tentative dreams.
