James Van Der Beek (Dawsonâs Creek) leads the action in this exciting, funny coming-of-age story about a small-town high schooler confronting the pressures and temptations of gridiron glory. At first, backup quarterback Jonathan âMoxâ Moxom (Van Der Beek) is nowhere close to being a football star. Heâs perfectly content to stay on the bench and out of the in-at-all-cost strategies of coach Bud Kilmer (Jon Voight in a powerful performance). But when the starting quarterback is injured, Mox is in the gameâĻand in direct conflict with his hotheaded coach and girlfriend. Soon everyone in Moxâs football-crazed community will realize thereâs not just a new star quarterback in town, thereâs a new kind of hero.
