Streets of Fire
Director: Walter Hill
Actors: Michael Paré, Diane Lane, Rick Moranis
PlotIn a gritty, stylized cityscape that feels like a rock 'n' roll fable, a young rock singer named Ellen Aim is suddenly kidnapped mid-concert by a biker gang led by the fearsome Raven Shaddock. The abduction sends shockwaves through the neon-soaked urban jungle, where lawlessness seems to prevail. Ellen's desperate manager and boyfriend, Billy Fish, recognizes that recapturing his star and love interest demands more than he can muster, leading him to seek help from an unlikely source.
Tom Cody, a tough ex-soldier and Ellen's ex-lover, reluctantly returns to the city he had left behind to rescue her. Armed with little but his wits and a sense of unfinished personal business, Tom navigates a labyrinth of treacherous city-dwellers and confronts the dangers of the criminal underworld. As Tom sets out on his perilous mission, he gathers a small but resilient team, including a savvy mechanic named McCoy and a resourceful siren who holds her own against the city's dark elements. Together, they embark on a high-octane quest to confront the gang and retrieve Ellen, igniting a battle of rock and roll bravado versus outlaw ruthlessness.
