Details: Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star in this music-fueled story of the ground-breaking, all girl, teenage rock band of the 1970s: The Runaways. The film follows two friends, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, as they rise from rebellious Southern Californian kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. Joan and Cherie fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley, played by Michael Shannon, who turns the group into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself and so do its two leads: Joan is the bands pure rock n roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten. Written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, the film chronicles Joan and Cherie's tumultuous relationship on and off stage, as the band starts to break out.-----Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning play Joan Jett and Cherie Currie respectively in the musical drama THE RUNAWAYS telling the story of the famous avant-garde women's formation. Under the stewardship of eccentric Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon, Pearl Harbor), Southern California musicians are thrust into the limelight. Rebellious and undeniably talented, they quickly climb the steps of success. But two members stand out from the group in particular: Joan, a rocker at heart, and Cherie, the seductress with the Bowie-Bardot look.
