Chris Greene ([[Brendan Fraser]]) hides his [[Jewish]] heritage, hoping to avoid his classmates' [[Anti-Semitism]] and get into Harvard.
[[Matt Damon]] plays Charlie Dillon, a quarterback switched reluctantly to halfback so David can lead the team to victory over the school's hated rivals. Dillon initially befriends Greene, but after he plays poorly in front of his father at a big game and loses his girlfriend to Greene, he takes revenge by using an overheard remark to disclose Greene's religion.
Another element in the story is the school's strict [[honor code]]. When a crib sheet is discovered on the floor after a history exam, known weak student Dillon is pitted against top scholar Greene; the boys must turn in one of their section as a cheater.
