Synopsis :
C’est la catastrophe quand Lance Harbor, un des membres les plus doués des Coyotes, l’équipe de football de la ville de West Canaan, doit renoncer à finir la saison pour cause de blessure. L’équipe est contrainte de le remplacer par un joueur de niveau inférieur, Jonathan Moxon.
Plus intellectuel et sensiblement moins motivé que ses camarades, Mox se heurte a l’inflexible entraîneur Kilmer qui lui reproche son indiscipline et sa désinvolture à l’approche d’une rencontre decisive pour l’équipe.
Voici le communiqué (en anglais) :

Synopsis
At first, backup quarterback Jonathan « Mox » Moxom (James Van Der Beek) is nowhere close to being a star athlete. Perfectly content to stay on the bench, he has no time for coach Kilmer’s (Jon Voight) win-at-all-cost strategies. But when the starting quarterback (Paul Walker) is injured, Mox is in the game and confronting the pressures and temptations of gridiron glory. Soon everyone will realize there’s not just a new star quarterback in town, there’s a new kind of hero.
VARSITY BLUES is rated R for strong language throughout, sexuality and nudity, and some substance abuse
