Plot Synopsis

Directed by Sampson Collins, 99 is a three-part documentary that ells the story of how, in 1999, Manchester United made soccer history by winning the treble: championships in the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League. A season of conflict, drama and miracles is told by those who were there, including Sir Alex Ferguson, David Beckham, Andy Cole, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Peter Schmeichel, Paul Scholes, Teddy Sheringham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Dwight Yorke and many more. Despite dominating domestic football during the 1990s, manager Alex Ferguson was yet to restore Manchester United's European glory when in 1999, it arrived in an unprecedented fashion. In just ten days, Ferguson's team of home-grown talent and international stars won three trophies, the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League; achieving the first 'treble' in English football history. This destiny hung in the balance until the final moments of the 1999 UEFA Champions League final, when Manchester United capped off their incredible season, scoring two goals in stoppage time. 25 years later, filmmaker Sampson Collins, with access to the team and new revelations and footage from inside the dressing room, explores the excitement, unparalleled determination, and miraculous twists of fate leading up to the remarkable achievement. All three installments of 99 dropped on Friday, May 17, 2024 on Prime Video.
