Plucked from obscurity by rock impresario Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon, Revolutionary Road), raven-haired rocker Joan, the rebellious Cherie and their band become an outrageous sensations thanks to their tough image and raw talent. But their fast, drug-fuelled lifestyle soon catches up with the teenage girls as success starts to cloud their judgments...   Actors Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, Michael Shannon, Riley Keough, Tatum O'Neal, Stella Maeve, Scout Taylor-Compton & Riley Keough Director Floria Sigismondi Certificate 15 years and over Year 2010 Screen Widescreen 2.35:1 Anamorphic Languages English - Dolby Digital (5.1) Subtitles English for the hearing impaired Duration 1 hour and 46 minutes (approx)                             

Coming-of-age biopic about 1970s all-girl teen band The Runaways. Kristen Stewart stars as Joan Jett, the rebellious rock and roll chick who learns to play guitar and dreams of forming a hardcore, all-girl rock band. When she meets eccentric record producer Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), he is struck by the possibilities of exploiting a 'jailbait' teenage girl band with guitars, and together Jett and Fowley comb the sleazy nightclubs of Los Angeles in search of further band members. They eventually find their lead singer in 15-year-old blonde sexpot Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), and are soon signed by Mercury Records who send them off off on a tour of Japan. But the rock star life soon starts to take its toll as the girls - still underage - become immersed in a destructive combination of sex, drugs and in-fighting.
