It's the summer of 1965, and wannabe street hood Rusty James (Matt Dillon) spends his days skipping school, fighting and trying to live up to his older brother's name – that is, until the legendary Motorcycle Boy (Mickey Rourke) returns to town.
Shot in luminous black and white, Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel is a timeless, visually rapturous blend of avant-garde stylings, Americana iconography and pop existentialism.
