Johnny Be Good (1988)
Ein High-School-Boy lässt es richtig krachen: Quaterback Johnny Walker ist der beste Footballer seines High-School-Teams und landesweit eines der vielversprechendsten Talente. Das macht ihn nicht nur bei seinen Sportlehrern beliebt, auch die Girls sind ganz wild auf ihn. Standesgemäß geht er darum mit Georgia dem schönsten Mädchen seiner Schule. Bald jedoch werden auch die Recruiter der College-Football-Verbände auf ihn aufmerksam und versuchen den Youngster mit allen Mitteln für ihr Team zu gewinnen: shnelle Autos, heiße Chicks und richtig viel Geld. Johnny sieht sich plötzlich in eine Welt voller Verlockungen versetzt, denen er wirklich nicht wiederstehen kann. Als die Bestechungsversuche untersucht werden und auch noch seine Familie mit hineingezogen wird, muss sich Johnny entscheiden, welchen Weg er gehen will.
