Jonathan "Mox" Moxon is an intelligent and academically talented quarterback on the West Canaan High School football team.

He is constantly disagreeing with his football-obsessed father Sam.
The verbally abusive Bud Kilmer cares just for winning, and at all costs. Kilmer has won two state titles and 22 district championships. His philosophy, though, begins taking a toll on the team's all state starting quarterback, Lance Harbor. Harbor is Jules's brother.

Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times" said in his review: "Scenes work, but they don't pile up or build momentum."
