Story: |
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star in this music-fueled story of the
ground-breaking, all girl, teenage rock band of the 1970s: The Runaways.
The film follows two friends, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, as they rise
from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now
legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands.
Joan and Cherie fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario
Kim Fowley, played by Michael Shannon, who turns the group into an
outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image
and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself - and so do its
two leads: Joan is the band's pure rock-n-roll heart, while Cherie, with
her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten. Written and directed by Floria
Sigismondi, the film chronicles Joan and Cherie's tumultuous relationship
on and off stage, as the band starts to break out.
