Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, two rebellious teenagers from Southern California, become the frontwomen for The Runaways -- the now-legendary group that paved the way for future generations of female rockers. Under the Svengali-like influence of impresario Kim Fowley, the band becomes a huge success.

"Story of the all girl band. "

"⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 What sets The Runaways sordid story apart is being one of the first all girl rock bands, pioneers for sure and the most legendary since they were only 15 years old. At the mercy of a predatory & abusive manager they should have been protected but you know, the 70s. I wish the film handled their hyper sexualization in a way that accurately depicted its victimizing nature instead of resorting to the same sort of hyper sexualizing they were subject to. Things were definitely missed. "

"This movie made me gayer than I already was and I am grateful for that."

"It was okay not my favourite though "

Bryan Stoll

"I really did like the film, but the way it sexualizes young girls is disturbed me the whole time watching. Either the point was to point out the problem w/ sexualizing young girls or the writer and director are pervs and pedophiles."
