The Runaways
The film is about Joanne Jet and Cherie Curie, friends who move from rebellious teenagers from Southern California to rock stars in the legendary group. Over time, both friends face a different path of their lives because it is the group that paved the way for future generations of all girls. That group seems to be fully influenced by Svengali-like of the rock impresario Kim Fowley, who turns the group into real success.
