Viola Hastings poses as her twin brother Sebastian to play on the boys' soccer team at her new school. She joins as a second string player but improves with extra practice from Duke Orsino. When the real Sebastian returns early from a trip, it causes confusion and Duke believes he was betrayed. Viola is eventually forced to reveal her secret, but the coach still allows her to play and their team wins the big game. In the end, Duke forgives Viola and they remain on the soccer team together.

2. The film centers
around teenager
Viola Hastings who
enters her brother's
school in his place,
pretending to be
male, in order to play
with the boys' soccer
team.

3. Viola's twin brother, Sebastian is supposed to enter Illyria as a new student, and since
he is instead going to a contest in London with his fledgling band, Sebastian asks Viola
to cover for him by telling the school that he is sick and each of their parents (who are
divorced) thinks that he is staying with the other.
At Illyria, Viola's roommate is Duke Orsino a good-looking striker on the soccer team.
Tryouts see Viola assigned to second string, much to her dismay. Meanwhile,
"Sebastian's" lab partner, Olivia develops a crush on him, which frustrates Duke, who
likes Olivia. In exchange for "Sebastian's" help in getting Olivia's attention, Duke agrees
to put in extra soccer practice time with him. Coach Dinklage eventually moves
"Sebastian" up to first string, and he is delighted.
“Sebastian” is reminded, by a message from his mother, about the Junior League
carnival that he and Viola promised to attend. Due to the fact that Duke’s mother is
also a part of the Junior League, he must go as well. “Sebastian” is forced to switch
between herself (Viola) and Sebastian the whole time, while trying to avoid her
mother
Duke and Viola meet for the first time and exchange their kiss at the kissing booth.
Duke realizes he might be crushing not only on Olivia, but on Viola as well.

4. The plot becomes complicated when the real Sebastian returns from London
a day early. When he arrives at Illyria, Olivia runs up and kisses him.
Duke, seeing this, believes his roommate has betrayed him and after arguing
with "Sebastian" kicks him out. Viola stays in Eunice's room and
oversleeps, causing the real Sebastian to wind up on the field playing in what
should be his sister's spot in the next day's much-anticipated game against
Cornwall.
The real Sebastian being present instead, he proves himself to be male by
pulling down his shorts and exposing his genitals off-screen. At half-time, Viola
explains the situation to Sebastian and they switch places again.
Later on in the game Viola explains that she has been impersonating her
brother, finally convincing Duke and everyone else by showing them
her breasts (again, off screen). The coach agrees to let Viola keep playing
anyway, sternly informing the Cornwall coach that Illyria doesn't discriminate
based on gender and he calls out the coach for his sexist ways. Illyria wins the
game on a penalty kick when Viola scores a goal (after a save and then pass
from Duke) past her ex-boyfriend Justin.
Everyone at Illyria celebrates their victory over Cornwall, except for Duke who
is hurt at Viola's deception. She invites Duke to her debutante ball. They meet
in a garden and head to the Debutante ball, where they are
introduced, come on stage, and kiss. At the end of the film, Viola and Duke
are shown playing on the soccer team of Illyria a year later, both on the first
string. They are both laughing in practice and that is when the film ends.
