Rebel Without a Cause 1955

Jim Stark is the new kid in town. He has been in trouble elsewhere; thats why his family has had to move before. Here he hopes to find the love he doesnt get from his middle-class family. Though he finds some of this in his relation with Judy, and a form of it in both Platos adulation and Rays real concern for him, Jim must still prove himself to his peers in switchblade knife fights and "chickie" games in which cars race toward a seaside cliff.
