This is the film (based on a true account)which triggered the tv series of Friday Night Lights in the USA. It tells the story of a local high school football team in a small town in Texas. The players struggle to achieve a good college place by standing out on the football field. There's a big game every Friday played under floodlights (hence the title). How well they play determines whether or not they can break free of small town life and make it big in the outside world. In Texas, High School football is everything...it is as important as football is to Liverpool supporters in the UK! This film is a bit dated but is still a good watch. Gives excellent insights into what goes on behind the game.
In a town where football is everything, a high school football team must carry the weight of expectation and hope on their shoulders. This film is truly brilliant, i watched it online one time and the quality was pretty bad but it was that good in bad quality that i had to buy it, for less than £5 this film is a must!!! anyone who likes sports will love this, but even if you dont the journey the players go through will keep you entertained throughout. i give this 10/10 because i love it, but from a non biased view i would say it has to be a 9/10, this is easily one of the best or IMO the best sports film there is out there, and for less the £5 what are you waiting for?
Whilst looking for the next season of the US TV drama, I happened across this, a great film version. it's all very compulsive for competitive pesron. It focuses on the characters and relationships against a backdrop of American High School Football. A good watch.
Brilliant Movie at a very good price. great acting and brilliant football action highly recommended
This is, dare I say it, THE best american football film you can buy! The film is faultless and I can watch it over and over and over again!!! Really gets me pumped up for playing american football or even rugby in my case! A great great film! If you love american football, you'll love this!!! Even my partner who doesn't know anything about american football loved it too!!!
