The day that shook up a generation! Writer-director James Bridges’ haunting & sensitive Southern drama follows a circle of small-town Arkansas college kids on the day of James Dean’s death. The teens cope with meaning, angst & identity while processing their grief, while the alienated center of the group spirals down a path with potentially catastrophic consequences. Starring Richard Thomas, with fantastic Gordon Willis cinematography, and strong supporting turns from its young ensemble, including Dennis Quaid, Tom Hulce, and Dennis Christopher.
