Out of the Blue

Drama94 min

A rebellious teenage girl in the Pacific Northwest grows up between an ex-con father and a mother deep in heroin use, then looks for belonging in a collision of Elvis worship and the punk scene. Linda Manz is at the center as a kid who can't or won't conform, while Dennis Hopper directs and also appears among the adults in her orbit. Hitchhiking, poverty, prison, and drug abuse shape her life as she pushes back against family chaos and every attempt to straighten her out.
