Sensitive study of a headstrong high school football star who dreams of getting out of his small Western Pennsylvania steel town with a football scholarship. His equally ambitious coach aims at a college position, resulting in a clash which could crush the player's dreams.
A great look at how players and coaches alike wish to escape a small steel town. Tom Cruise did a good job but Lea Thompson was the reasoning behind the viewing. She absolutely smoked up the screen. A nice 1980s football drama.
