Pee-wee's Big Adventure
ActionAdventureComedyFamily91 min
When Pee-wee Herman’s prized bicycle is stolen, he drops everything and heads out on a cross-country search to get it back. Paul Reubens is Pee-wee, a cheerful oddball whose clues come from a fortune-teller and whose route keeps veering into stranger territory, from roadside stops and biker bars to cowboys, con artists, and a phantom trucker. Elizabeth Daily’s Dottie, a small-town waitress with a soft spot for him, is one of the few people trying to help. Directed by Tim Burton, the movie follows Pee-wee’s stubborn quest through a chain of detours, dead ends, and increasingly bizarre encounters.
