James Dean stars in a movie that shocked the country with a performance that still electrifies the screen 25 years after his untimely death prior to the film’s release.

In this conventional drama of teenage angst and rebellion, three high school students who should lead perfect lives in their stable, comfortable suburban families, explode with a violence and sexuality that their parents cannot understand.

This film—which ripped the façade from the post-war American dream to expose the rage of the country’s youth—resonates with an energy that has made it a modern classic and a powerful coming-of-age story.
