Hoosiers is a 1986 sports film written by Angelo Pizzo and directed by David Anspaugh. It tells the story of a small-town Indiana high school basketball team that wins the state championship. It is loosely based on the Milan High School team that won the 1954 state championship.
Gene Hackman stars as Norman Dale, a new coach with a spotty past. The film co-stars Barbara Hershey and Dennis Hopper, whose role as the basketball-loving town drunk earned him an Oscar nomination. Jerry Goldsmith was also nominated for an Academy Award for his score. In 2001, Hoosiers was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
In 1951, Norman Dale arrives in the rural southwest Indiana town of Hickory to become a high school teacher and head basketball coach. He was hired by Cletus Summers, the principal and a longtime friend of Dale's. Dale, just out of the Navy, had been a champion collegiate coach until he struck one of his players. The coaching position in Hickory is a last chance for him.

Meet me tonight
Byt the Mulberry Lake.
I got two legs that they aid they'd break.
Such a silly thing to do, fall in love with you.
Don't be scared,
I got plans of my own.
We may be born here but this isn't out home,
Such a simple thing to do, to run away with you.
They say they'll come for me tonight.
They say they'll come for me tonight.
They say they'll come for me and none of them will
comfort me,
Unless we leave this town tonight.
We're better together,
You and I, we were meant forever.
Don't get hurt by upsetters,
You and I were made to measure.
Don't know how but they're onto us,
My lips were sealed, who betrayed my trust?
Such a silly thing to do, fall in love with you.
I see stars, and there's a pain in my chest.
I fell hard, but you said baby knows best.
My God, what were you thinking of?
We're cut from the same cloth.
If you lied, I'll tear the sky in two.
The blood red moon will hide its face from view.
The sea will boil and froth at the very prospect of me
and you.
I'm taking back this town tonight.
I'm taking back this town tonight.
I'm taking back this town.
Nothing good comes without a fight.
Nothing good comes without a fight.
Nothing good comes without a fight.
