English Summary:

Friday Night Lights is a 2004 American sports drama film directed by Peter Berg. The film follows the coach and players of a high school football team in the Texas city of Odessa, which supported and was obsessed with them. The book on which it was based, Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream (1990) by H. G. Bissinger, followed the story of the 1988 Permian High School Panthers football team as they made a run towards the state championship.

As preseason practice begins for the Permian High School football team in August 1988, the town of Odessa, Texas has high expectations for the players and their coach Gary Gaines to win a state championship with their star running back James "Boobie" Miles. The quarterback, Mike Winchell, runs under the expectation of handing off the ball to Miles on most plays. Fullback Don Billingsley struggles with his ball handling and is abused by his alcoholic father Charles, who won a state championship with Permian. The players frequently party as they deal with the pressures of Odessa's expectations.

In the season opener against the Marshall Bulldogs, the Permian Panthers make the game a blowout. Gaines intends to bench Miles in the waning minutes, but keeps him in after third-stringer Chris Comer is unprepared to go in. Miles tears his ACL after being tackled at the knee, and afterwards Gaines is widely criticized by the town for keeping Miles in. In the next game during the start of district play, Permian gets blown out as Winchell struggles with consistency in his increased role and the second-string running back gets hurt. Comer goes in, but avoids contact, and discussion arises about Gaines losing his job. However, the Panthers start winning again as Winchell and Comer improve, and safety Brian Chavez and linebacker Ivory Christian emerge as defensive standouts.

Hungarian Summary:

A film egy bátor baráti társaság a Permiai Párducok 1988-as szezonjáról szól. Ők Texas történetének legsikeresebb középiskolai futballcsapata. A csapat fiatal játékosai számára minden meccs lehetőség arra, hogy felülemelkedjenek kisvárosuk korlátain és megvalósítsák tünékeny álmukat - hogy 18 éves korukra futballsztárokká váljanak. A film élénk képet fest Odessáról és más hozzá hasonló amerikai kisvárosokról, ahol az őszi szezon alatt hetente egyszer feltámadnak a város reményei, amikor kigyúlnak a stadionban a vakító Péntek esti fények.
