The Runaways (2010)

Plot: In 1970s Los Angeles, rebellious teenager Joan Jett and charismatic singer Cherie Currie forge an unlikely creative alliance under the unorthodox mentorship of eccentric rock impresario Kim Fowley. Transforming overnight into the frontwomen of the hard-rock sensation The Runaways, the duo breaks down gender barriers in a male-dominated music industry. However, as explosive fame, substance abuse, and intense commercial pressure threaten to tear the band apart, they face a volatile collision between rock-and-roll dreams and personal destruction.
