Synopsis

Set in the Los Angeles 70's rock scene, the film explores the formation and success of The Runaways, Joan Jett and Lita Ford's first band. Starring Kristen Stewart as Jett, Scout Taylor-Compton as Lita Ford and Dakota Fanning as singer Cherie Currie.

THE RUNAWAYS reveals the story of two girls, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, who under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), develop into an outrageously successful rock group.
