要打贏多少場球賽，才能成為NBA球員？為了夢想，你願意犧牲多少？
兩名來自芝加哥貧民區的少年擁有非凡的籃球天賦，他們從街頭球場被發掘、成功進入籃球名校，然而追夢背後，是難以言喻的壓力與痛苦。Arthur因繳不出學費而慘遭退學，家庭面臨前所未有的經濟困境。William在球賽和學業略有成績，腿傷卻令他飽受挫折，家庭也迎來重大轉變，他的籃球夢還在嗎？
六年間，二人經歷大起大跌，而人生似乎才剛開始⋯⋯
HOOP DREAMS is the remarkable true story of two American dreamers; an intimate reflection of contemporary American inner-city culture, following two ordinary young men on the courts of the game they love.
Plucked from the streets and given the opportunity to attend a suburban prep school and play for a legendary high school coach, William Gates and Arthur Agee both soon discover that their dreams of NBA glory become obscured amid the intense pressures of academics, family life, economics and athletic competitiveness. But most importantly, both boys remain focused on their dream, no matter how hard tragedy strikes or how desperate their situation becomes. It is their faith in the game that unites their family and gives each person hope.
