Favorite movie!Vision Quest just happened to be playing on Encore the TV channel for movies. I sat down as it began, the music drew me in. I started watching it, and immediately loved the devotion Loudin Swain has for wrestling. The whole movie though explores the world of wrestling, the weight cuts, the sweat, the weigh-ins, etc. It's an excellent movie about a "vision quest". Everybody's got one! Definitely a movie I bought! (And generally, I'm not a fan of sports movies!).Score: 5/5

UnderratedAn 80’s masterpiece. The music is iconic. Based on Terry Davis’ book with the same name. Louden, a HS senior, challenges himself to beat the unbeaten wrestling monster, Shute. It’s a classic coming of age story with wrestling and a girl as the catalyst..Score: 5/5

Český
V den svých osmnáctých narozenin si dal Louden Swain veliké předsevzetí - bude denně běhat, posilovat do úmoru a méně jíst, aby zhubl o deset kilogramů. To vše s jediným cílem - porazit nejtěžšího zápasníka státu Washington, živou "mlátičku" jménem Shute. Jeho tvrdý trénink ovšem přináší spíše negativní výsledky: náhle z hladu omdlí na školní chodbě, několikrát silně krvácí z nosu a nevadí mu ani, že může přijít o atletické stipendium a o možnost studovat medicínu. Jediným rozptýlením je pro Loudena studentka umění Carla, kterou porucha auta přinutila zastavit se ve městě. Teprve s ní nezkušený Louden poznává, co je opravdová láska ... Nedílnou součást filmu tvoří hudba Hlavní hudební motiv "Only The Young" složila skupina Journey. Ve filmu vystupuje dokonce samotná Madonna s písněmi "Gambler" a "Crazy For You".
