Now on video and available for download, “The Runaways” is based upon the book “Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway” by Cherie Currie.
“The Runaways” were an all-girl rock band from the late 1970’s featuring Cherie Currie as the lead singer, Joan Jett, who of course, went on to “Blackhearts” fame, and drummer, Sandy West, and lead guitarist, Lita Ford.
Dakota Fanning plays the lead of Cherie Currie, and she definitely makes you forget her sweet child parts from the past. She gives a powerful, gritty performance.
Kristen Stewart, of Twilight fame, plays Joan Jett.
It shows their rise to rock star fame from the beginning as a teenage band.
Rated R for sexual scenes, heavy drug abuse and more.
First shown at the Sundance Film Festival 2010.
