Vision Quest
All he needed was a lucky break. Then one day she moved in.
Directed by Harold Becker
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, The Guber-Peters Company
A coming-of-age sports romance that balances athletic ambition with romantic longing, grounded in 1980s high school life and the tension between self-improvement and emotional connection.
After deciding he needs to do something meaningful with his life, high school wrestler Louden Swain sets out on a mission to drop weight and challenge the area's undefeated champion, which creates problems with his teammates and health. Matters are complicated further when Louden's father takes in an attractive female drifter who's on her way to San Francisco.
