Plot
On a summer night in 1962 in a small California town, a group of teenagers cruise, race cars and wonder about the future before leaving for college.
Sinekatalog’s take
George Lucas's one-night teen comedy is a joyful, bittersweet snapshot of 1962. Its cars, radio hits and young cast are full of nostalgia, and it made a template for many coming-of-age films.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
