- This research aims to observe interracial conflict between black and white people which ended peacefully in Remember the Titans film directed by Boaz Yakin in 2000. By using qualitative method and descriptive analysis technique, this research explains conflict between two different races through S. Dale McLemore�s theory of prejudice and discrimination and intergroup contact theory in reducing interracial conflict which caused by prejudice and discrimination. The research findings show that interracial conflict arises through the characters by several aspects of prejudice and discrimination. This research finds that the interracial conflict between them is solved by Coach Boone�s manners through his rules, punishments and suggestions toward black and white players while coaching the Titans football team. Furthermore, Gerry�s car accident also makes intergroup contact appear naturally inside and outside of the team. All of those manners expose the same idea of intergroup contact theory by S. Dale McLemore in resolving interracial conflict which caused by prejudice and discrimination between black and white people who live in Alexandria, Virginia in Remember the Titans film
