7.3 / 10

Odessa, Texas, is a small, town in Texas. Racially divided and economically dying, there is one night that gives the town something to live for: Friday Night. The Permian Panthers have a big winning tradition in Texas high school football, led by QB Mike Winchell and superstar tailback Boobie Miles, but all is not well, as Boobie suffers a career-ending injury in the first game of the season. Hope is lost among citizens in Odessa, and for the team, but Coach Gary Gaines, who believes that "Perfection is being able to look your friends in the eye and know you did everything you could not to let them down", is somehow able to help the team rise up from the ashes and make a huge season comeback. Now on their way to state, the Panthers must go out and be perfect, because they may never matter this much for the rest of their lives.

I remember showing this movie to my dad, and as the QB was running to the end zone my dad was like “alright let me guess, they win? Big surprise! So stupid!” Man it was gratifying watching him realize he was wrong, and the moments that followed were so undeniably moving and well done, he had eat his words and admit this movie is amazing - @Friday, November 30, 2018 4:03 PM

Every father wants their son to be better than them. Don's father went about it the wrong way, but in this movie we see that he has love for his son and the son had love for his father. You can see Don's love for him when his father threw his championship ring out the car window and Don drove back and crawled on the ground looking for it. It's not a feel good father and son story, but it is a realistic story. - @Saturday, November 24, 2018 11:41 PM

It hurts a lot when you lose in the playoffs in your senior year in high school. - @Sunday, September 2, 2018 3:18 PM

Read the book. It was the playoffs. Not the state championship. And Carter fixed grades and had their title pulled. A little before that they had their stars arrested for armed robberies victimizing innocent people. Read books. Movies lie. - @Friday, August 31, 2018 5:19 AM

Football has many lessons. Vince Lombardi said it's pretty much like life. And this is the picture that's shown about football in this film. It's about being young and joining something great. It's about being focused for a goal. It's about being part of something. But it's also about coming of age, about youth coming to an end, so life starts in all its wideness, in good and bad. It's also about giving a limit to the goals in every stage of life, so oneself moves on, evolving, not just coaching. It's about having dreams, and fighting for them, and also about watching those dreams shattered in your face. And it's about understanding that the most important victories, and the worst defeats, happen in the inside. The field is there only as long as you're young. But football remains inside of you. And other fields, in other shapes, will come. - @Monday, July 9, 2018 4:18 AM
