Rebel Without a Cause

Rebel Without a Cause

1955

When Jim Stark (James Dean) arrives in a new town -- his troubled past firmly in tow -- he quickly falls for the girl next door (Natalie Wood) and befriends the vulnerable Plato (Sal Mineo). Together, the alienated teens form a surrogate family. From a deadly game of chicken to the spectacular climax at Los Angeles's Griffith Park Observatory, director Nicholas Ray's Oscar-nominated portrait of teen angst provided a jolt to 1950s America.

James Dean in his sensational role. (Australian daybill)
