Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella (Vanessa Hudgens) are young people from two different worlds. Troy has been trained as a basketball seed since he was a child, while Gabriella is an excellent student with high IQ. At the New Year's Eve party, the two were pushed onto the stage and sang a beautiful song together, which ignited sparks in each other's hearts. Coincidentally, the two became high school classmates. The art teacher intends to select suitable candidates to participate in a musical. Troy and Gabriella moved the teacher with their beautiful and tacit singing. To obtain the final performance qualification, they still have to defeat their opponents in the second round of interviews, but things have twists and turns. The basketball team is stepping up training for an important game, and the players have asked Troy to concentrate on practicing; the academic competition is about to start, and everyone opposes the team member Gabriella to be distracted by the musical. To make matters worse, their competitors are interfering and scheduling basketball games, academic competitions and musical interviews on the same day. How to choose between fish and bear's paw? The two young men acted decisively and came up with a brilliant idea.
