Battle of the Year

Dante Graham enlists Jason Blake to coach the United States' B-boy team for the upcoming Battle of the Year. With the U.S. having not won in 15 years, Dante is desperate to revive interest in B-boying, which has lost its cool factor among the younger generation.

Jason Blake learns about the struggling LA B-boy team that hasn’t updated their routine in four years. He advises Dante to cherry-pick the best B-boys from across America, stressing the need for top-tier talent as the Battle of the Year is only three months away.

Blake and his assistant, Franklyn, attend the Freestyle competition to scout the best hip-hop talent in the country. They evaluate numerous dancers, ultimately selecting a diverse group to form the new 'Dream Team' of B-boys.

Blake compiles his Dream Team from the talent discovered at the Freestyle competition, selecting 13 out of 22 names. Each selected dancer brings unique skills to the team, forming a group that hopes to compete fiercely at the BOTY.

The newly formed Dream Team enters a grueling 9-week training regimen at an abandoned juvenile center. Blake implements a strict routine beginning at 6 AM and requires the crew to train seven days a week while eliminating one member each week.

In a crucial exhibition match against a Russian team, the Dream Team struggles to keep pace with their opponents, who showcase superior dance performances. The Americans revert from their routines to individual 1:1 battles, ultimately losing the match decisively.

The internal rivalry between Rooster and Do Knock reaches a boiling point after the exhibition match. Their actions negatively affect team morale, prompting the rest of the crew to confront them about the need for unity.

Blake discovers that Flipz has been breaking camp rules to visit his wife and newborn daughter living in a motel. After a heartfelt conversation, Flipz convinces Blake to allow him to stay on the team despite his indiscretions.

During training, Rooster suffers a severe ankle injury while attempting a new move and must leave the team. Consequently, Bambino, who had previously been cut, is brought back to take his place.

The Dream Team travels to Montpellier, France, just ahead of the 22nd World B-Boy Championship. They encounter local troublemakers, leading to a confrontation that results in Sniper's disqualification from the competition.

After the incident with Sniper, the team comes together, affirming their support for him. Blake, impressed by their solidarity, pushes for Sniper's reinstatement, reflecting a newfound unity within the group.

As the team overcomes their differences, they prepare for their final performance, carrying the burden of the earlier incident with them. Despite initially being disliked by the crowd, they deliver a stellar performance that wins over the audience.

The Dream Team advances to the semi-finals, competing against the reigning French champions. Their teamwork and hard work pay off as they manage to defeat the French team, propelling them into the finals.

In a tense final showdown against the favored Korean team, the Dream Team puts forth their best effort. However, they narrowly lose the competition by just one point, marking a bittersweet end to their journey.

After the competition, Blake reflects on the team's performance and vows to continue training them. Inspired by their growth and resilience, he resolves to prepare for next year's Battle of the Year championship.
