Vision Quest was a movie about wrestling? I only remember it being about a high school kid that scores big with an older women (and she was hot to boot!). Just kidding. This was, and still is, a classic movie about a high school wrestler who busted his tail to meet his goal. I rented it last year to watch with my son before the State tournament.
Plot
In this coming-of-age story, Louden Swain (Modine) is a high school wrestler who has just turned eighteen and decided that he needs to do something truly meaningful in his life. Against the wishes of those around him, he embarks on a mission to drop two weight classes in order to challenge the toughest opponent, Brian Shute (Frank Jasper)—a menacing 3-time state champion from nearby rival Hoover High School, who has never been defeated in his high school career. In his zeal to drop from 190 pounds to 168 pounds, against the wishes of his coach (Charles Hallahan) and teammates, he disrupts the team around him and creates health problems of his own.
