THE RUNAWAYS
Kristen
Stewart and Dakota Fanning star in THE RUNAWAYS – a coming-of-age biopic
about the groundbreaking all-girl teenage rock band of the 1970s.
Written and
directed by Floria Sigismondi (POSTMORTEM BLISS), the film recounts JOAN
JETT
(Stewart) and her friend CHERIE CURRIE’s (Fanning) rise from rebellious
Southern California teens to headliners of the now-legendary group that
paved
the way for future generations of girl bands.
Guitarist-singer
Joan, drummer SANDY WEST and lead guitarist LITA FORD join forces with
singer
Cherie under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario KIM FOWLEY.
With her
home life in tatters, Cherie adopts the band as her new family –
especially Joan, who becomes her partner-in-crime and sometime lover.
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 cast
in the role of sex kitten.
But
during a tour of Japan
at the peak of the band’s quaalude-popping success, drugs and
personality
clashes drive a wedge between the girls that builds to a flash point,
leading
to an emotional and surprising conclusion. THE RUNAWAYS is the story of
two
troubled teenage girls whose turbulent friendship becomes the stuff of
rock
‘n’ roll legend.
