The 1999 football movie has become a cult-classic sports film, with the late James Van Der Beek starring as hopeful backup quarterback Jonathan "Mox" Moxon, who has dreams of escaping his small Texas hometown. When the starting quarterback and Mox's best friend Lance Harbor (played by the late Paul Walker) gets hurt, Mox is forced to become the football team captain - which changes his future plans.
