Rebel Without a Cause

Drama111 min

New in town and already in trouble, Jim Stark is a teenager trying to start over while colliding with his parents, his classmates, and the local pecking order. James Dean is Jim, carrying the character’s loneliness and anger as he forms a bond with the isolated Plato (Sal Mineo) and is drawn to Judy, a neighborhood girl with Natalie Wood bringing a guarded edge. But Judy is involved with Buzz, the local tough, and his hostility toward Jim quickly turns public. What begins as a clean slate in 1950s suburbia narrows into rivalry, restless adolescence, and a drag race that pushes everything further.
