Biopic based on Cherie Currie’s memoir Neon Angel documenting the rise to fame and subsequent downfall of this 1970’s all-girl rock band. The Runaways, famous for their wild live performances, were formed around guitarist Joan Jett and lead vocalist Cherie Currie. They were only teenagers when they started doing gigs, became huge in Japan and had to deal with the big yet very real rock ‘n’ roll clichés: an exploitative manager, sex, drugs, record company problems and serious fights among group members. With young talents Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning in the leading roles, and a generous helping of 70’s rocker style.
