Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star in this music-fueled story of the groundbreaking,
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, who turns the group into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its toughchick
image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itselfand 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. USA, 2010, 105 mins
