Matthew Fox wears an unidentified watch

Red Dawson wasn't on the plane. The real assistant coach was supposed to travel with the Marshall University team on November 14, 1970, but drove separately. He spent the rest of his career working for the program, unable or unwilling to leave. Matthew Fox plays Dawson in McG's 2006 film as a man paralyzed by the question every survivor asks — why not me.

Fox's watch goes unidentified, which is fine for a supporting role in a period sports drama. The film's emotional weight rests on Dawson — he had no choice but to stay.
