Take Down is a 1979 American comedy-drama sports film directed by Kieth Merrill and released by Buena Vista Distribution Company. The plot concerns an unqualified teacher who finds himself saddled with coaching duties after a small group of high school seniors form a wrestling team in a last-ditch effort to end a nine-year losing streak against a rival school.

Production

Take Down was filmed primarily at the old American Fork High School in Utah, prior to the school's demolition and rebuilding. Scenes at other schools include a wrestling match shot at Murray High School in Murray, Utah. It was also filmed in Orem, Utah.

The movie was the first film produced by the American Film Consortium and had a budget of $2 million. Buena Vista Distribution Company acquired it for distribution, their first non-Disney release since Don't Look Now... We're Being Shot At! in 1969. This was the first film with a PG rating released by Disney, five years before they launched Touchstone Pictures to expand into the "adult" market.
