This documentary follows two inner-city Chicago residents, Arthur Agee and
William Gates, as they follow their dreams of becoming basketball
superstars. Beginning at the start of their high school years, and ending
almost 5 years later, as they start college, we watch the boys mature into
men, still retaining their "Hoop Dreams". Both are recruited into the same elite
high school as their idol, former Detroit Piston superstar Isaiah Thomas. Only
one survives the first year; the other must return to a high school closer to
his home. Along the way, there is much tragedy, some joy, a great wealth of
information about inner city life, and the suspense of not knowing what will
occur next. This is not a "by-the-numbers" film
