From the DVD back copy … High school wrestler Louden Swain is a man obsessed, trying to shed 23 pounds in a dangerously short time and take on Shute, the undefeated, tough-as-nails 168-pound champion who’s the best wrestler in the state. Matthew Modine stars as the mop-headed student undeterred in his Vision Quest … until the day a sexy drifter (Linda Fiorentino) threatens to pin Louden and his dreams to the mat of unrequited love. The hit soundtrack features Journey’s Only the Young, Foreigner’s Hot Blooded, and John Waite’s Change. In her first film, Madonna shines while performing Gambler and Crazy for You. You’ll go crazy for Vision Quest. Note these credits take place across several bridges in Riverfront Park, the Skywalk system, and the Ridpath Hotel in Spokane.

Released: 1985 In this coming-of-age story, Louden Swain 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 — 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 and teammates, he disrupts the team around him and creates health problems of his own.

    I watched this just because of Journey. I’m not interested in the movie.

  • mkp6652 says:

    The story draws you in. It main character, Louden is looking for his big moment on the mats of Spokane, WA where high school wrestling is a big deal. However, on his journey for his big sports moment he ends up discovering a lot more about himself. The movie is solid but the soundtrack gives it a huge boost.
