James Dean stars in a movie that shocked the United States with a performance that still electrifies the screen twenty-five years after his untimely death prior to the film's release. In this archetypal drama of teenage angst and rebellion, three high school students who should lead idyllic 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.

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

A superb study of teen angst that still retains its power despite the number of inferior rip-offs that followed in its wake.

Rebel Without a Cause has withstood the test of time and remains one of the best films about teenagers in cinematic history.

This film is considered a classic, its themes timeless and executed by short-lived talents such as James Dean and Natalie Wood. Now, for the first time, Warner Bros. Pictures is releasing Rebel on 4K UHD with High Dynamic Range ...

Rebel Without a Cause remains an entertaining classic even after nearly 70 years thanks to its intriguing themes and stunning performances.

“Rebel” is one of those classic films that defines a generation and will define many to come.
