In Texas, football is a religion – but who makes the rules?
Varsity Blues is an intense, energetic and stylish late-90s teen drama set in a small Texas town where the success of a high school football team is a bigger deal than life. When the team's star player is injured, backup quarterback Jonathan "Mox" Moxon (James Van Der Beek) is thrust into the spotlight.
Mox is not your typical star athlete: he reads books, dreams of a life far from his small town, and questions the ruthless methods of the team's tyrannical coach, Bud Kilmer (Jon Voight). A battle begins for victory, honor, and the right to play the game on his own terms.
