In
depicting the daily grind of coach Gary Gaines' (Billy Bob
Thornton) winning team and the potential destinies of its
individual players, the story paints a vivid portrait of Odessa
(and places like it all across America) where, once a week
during the fall, the town and its dreams come alive beneath
the dazzling and disorienting Friday night lights...when the
Panthers take to the field. Friday Night Lights illuminates
the hopes and dreams of Odessa's townsfolk, who ardently fill
Ratliff Stadium's 20,000 seats every Friday night. For the
young men of the team, every moment, every play is a chance
to transcend their small town and the fleeting fulfillment
of a gridiron stardom whose pinnacle may be reached by the
time they turn 18.
