Academy Award winning producer Brian Grazer (8 Mile) and director Peter Berg team up with Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton to create what Newsweek called one of the "top ten films of the year". 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 day is a chance to transcend their small town and the fleeting dream of gridiron stardom whose pinnacle maybe 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 it's hope comes alive beneath the dazzling Friday night lights.
