A drama directed by Nicholas Ray, starring James Dean.
A new kid has trouble fitting in at school because the bullies pick on him and he retaliates. He befriends an unpopular boy and one of the bully's girlfriends. They flee to an abandoned mansion where cops and thugs converge to wreck their night.
This movie is so popular and I can only see 2 reasons why. 1: the date is 1955, the middle of the fifties. 2: James Dean is a pretty boy. Needless to say, I'm not too thrilled. The characters are under-developed and the plot is stale, even for the 1950s. I'm rating it poor for lack of entertainment value. Although there was one entertaining thing: the hero chugs milk like a champ!
