"Tomorrow's city... today" is how the planned suburban paradise of New Granada promotes itself, but something has been left out of the plans. No one is paying attention to the town's teens.
Jonathan Kaplan directs this hot-blooded cult classic about kids left to discover their own values and comign up with enough drugs, booze and discontent to push everyone Over The Edge. Fourteen-year-old Matt Dillon makes his screen debut as the kids' charismatic, doomed leader Richie. The anthemic soundtrack by Van Halen, The Ramones, Cheap Trick and others provide the film's rock-'n'-roll heart.
