Streets of Fire (1984)

Description

"IT'S PROBABLY IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO ENJOY THE MOVIE. NO DIRECTOR HOLDS A CANDLE TO (WALTER) HILL FOR SHEER VISCERAL EXPERTISE.• — FILM COMMENT Amid a brooding rock & roll landscape, the Bombers motorcycle gang, led by the vicious Raven Shaddock Dafoe, John Wick), kidnap diva Ellen Aim (Diane Lane, Man Of Steel). Her hope for rescue lies with unlikely heroes soldier of fortune Tom Cody (Michael Pare, Bad Moon) and his sidekick, the two-fisted beer-guzzling McCoy (Amy Madigan, The Dark Half). Joined by Ellen's manager, Billy Fish (Rick Moranis, Ghostbusters), the trio plunges headfirst into a world of rain-splattered streets, hot cars, and deadly assassins. This cult favorite features a razor-sharp cast and original songs written by Jim Steinman, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty and Ry Cooder and performed by The Blasters and The Fixx. Directed by cult filmmaker Walter Hill (The Warriors, Southern Comfort, 48 Hrs.), Streets Of Fire is a rock & roll shotgun blast to the senses.
