Among sports fans who follow baseball, basketball and hockey, there are no moments like the games sevens. Now, Game 7 explores what those high-stakes moments are like in a five-part documentary series on Prime Video featuring the legendary players who lived through them.

In addition to the first-hand accounts from major sports stars, Game 7 also features an all-star lineup of executive producers that includes Connor Schell (Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story), six-time Stanley Cup winner Mark Messier and the Jersey Films 2nd Avenue production company headed by Danny DeVito, Lucy DeVito and Jake DeVito. In other words, there's just as much star power behind the cameras as there is in front of it.
