GOAT is the story of an underdog. A goat, Will Harris (Caleb McLaughlin), resides in a city called Vineland and works in a diner. Since childhood, he has been a fan of Jett Fillmore (Gabrielle Union), a black panther and a legendary roarball player. However, in the last few years,... the performance of Jett's team, Vineland Thorns, has been terrible. In desperation, Jett asks the team owner, a warthog named Florence Everson aka Flo (Jenifer Lewis), to find a talented sixth player. Meanwhile, Will faces off against Mane Attraction (Aaron Pierre), the lead player for the rival team of Lava Coast Magma, at a neighbourhood roarball court. Will plays well at first, but then gets defeated. The video of their face off goes viral with Will being projected as a hero by the netizens. Flo is impressed with Will and realizes that enlisting him in the team will get publicity for Vineland Thorns. Thus, he's signed onto the Thorns. Will can't believe that he's living his dream of playing alongside Jett. But Jett is not impressed at all and doubts his potential. The roarball tournament begins and Will is not allowed to play and is placed on the bench. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
