When you come from nothing, winning isn't everything...It's the only thing.Academy Award-winning producer Brian Grazer (8 Mile) and director Peter Berg (Welcome To The Jungle, Very Bad Things) team up with Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton (Bandits, Bad Santa). Friday Night lights chronicles the 1988 season of a courageous bunch of friends, the Permian High Panthers, the most successful football team in Texas' history. For the young men of the team, every play is a chance to transcend their small town and the fleeting dream of gridiron stardom whose pinnacle may be reached by the time they turn 18. The movie paints a vivid portrait of Odessa and places like it across America where once a week during the fall season, the town and its hopes come alive beneath the dazzling Friday night lights.
