Movie Description
This frank drama contrasts the lives of two brothers who are opposite in a almost every way. Joe (Brad Pitt) is the perfect son and athlete obsessed with his dream of a track scholarship. His brother Billy (Rick Schroder) is a short-fused teenage rebel paroled from reform school. When Joe talks Billy into joining a rival school's track team, he unexpectedly finds himself racing against his own brother and possibly killing his scholarship dreams, as well as his relationship with Billy. Pitt and Schroder are fantastic as the bickering brothers who can't seem to come to a truce.
