We have all the details regards the forthcoming DVD of Friday Night Lights , due out January 18.
Based on the best-selling book by H.G. Bissinger, "Friday Night Lights" chronicles the 1988 season of the Permian High Panthers of Odessa, Texas, the most successful football team in the state's history. For Coach Gary Gaines (Billy Bob Thornton), it is a season filled with tremendous pressure as he tries to drive his team to the championship after failing to do so the previous two years.
For the young men of the team, every play is a chance to transcend their small town and the fleeting dream of gridiron stardom whose pinnacle may be reached by the time they turn 18. The movie paints a vivid portrait of Odessa and places like it across America where once a week during the fall season, the town and its hopes come alive beneath the dazzling Friday night lights.
