KRISTEN STEWART AND DAKOTA FANNING ARE THE ROCK STARS IN A MUSICAL STORY OF THE GIRL AND TEEN BAND, THE RUNAWAYS, THAT ROCKED THE '70s. The film allows us to follow the two friends, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, on their journey from rebellious teenage lives in California to stardom in The Runaways – the legendary band that paved the way for subsequent generations of girl bands. Manager Kim Fowley takes Joan and Cherie under her wing. He fashions an incredible success story from two blunt and inexperienced individualists. We gain an exciting insight into this stormy collaboration, both on and off-stage. With their hard-earned rock image and talent, the path to stardom is short for the two: Joan was the band's true rock & roll heart and Cherie, with her Bardot-like looks, became the obvious sex symbol.
