Academy Award® winner Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather trilogy) directs this unforgettable story of a young man's struggle to live up to his adored brother's reputation in an impoverished industrial town. Matt Dillon (Wild Things) and Mickey Rourke (Barfly) are Rusty James and The Motorcycle Boy, and lead an all-star cast including Nicolas Cage (Adaptation), Dennis Hopper (Speed) and Diane Lane (Under the Tuscan Sun). This extraordinary adaptation of the best-seller by S.E. Hinton features a Golden Globe®-winning score by Stewart Copeland of The Police, and reminds us that if you're going to lead people, you have to have somewhere to go.

Critics Consensus: Rumble Fish frustrates even as it intrigues, but director Francis Ford Coppola's strong visual style helps compensate for a certain narrative stasis.

... Coppola made Rumble Fish in stylized black and white, like a teen noir seen through the eyes of a kid who has mythologized the idea of street gang chivalry to the point that he can’t see the reality through the idealization.

If The Outsiders was S.E. Hinton for the masses, then Rumble Fish was seemingly designed with the art-house crowd in mind.

With its long shadows and smoke constantly escaping from trash cans or manholes...the only moments of beauty reserved for reflections of moving clouds in windows and chrome.

A myth-infused coming-of-age story that's directed with a grandly imaginative visual repertoire to match.

The thrust of the narrative couldn't be more opaque, but Coppola and DP Stephen H. Burum concoct a unique visual parable on identity, rebellion, and adolescence.
