    Storyline

    Edit
    When Billy (Ricky Schroder) returns from reform school, he has to attend a different high school at the other side of town. He tries to start with a clean slate but his old rival doesn't make it easy on him and his buddy Louie (David Anthony Marshall) tries to make him go astray again. His brother Joe (Brad Pitt), quite the opposite of Billy, is a good runner and determined to win a track scholarship. He suggests Billy to join his school's track team, which pits the two brothers against each other. —Willy Vanhaelen <willy.vanhaelen@advalvas.be>

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The Maloney brothers are supposed to be in high school, in reality, Rick Schroeder was around 20 and Brad Pitt 27 during filming.
    • Goofs
      The 800 meter run does not start and finish in the middle of the straightaway, it starts and finishes in the corner of the track right before the first curve.

    Two brothers race for the finish line.
    Not much to rave about unless you happen to be a Brad Pitt fan or a follower of Rick Schroder. The two play high school brothers that find some success on the track field. Pitt is trying to walk the straight and narrow; while Schroder is a reform school refugee. Otherwise this movie does good to hold interest against an after school TV movie. Carrie Snodgress plays the passive mother still grieving her husbands death. Thomas Mikal Ford is the "meaning well" track coach. Unrealistic casting hurts.
