Academy Award winner Sean Penn leads an all-star cast (Jennifer Jason Leigh, Phoebe Cates, Judge Reinhold) in this hilarious portrayal of a group of Southern California high school students and their most important subjects: sex, drugs and rock`n` roll. Amy Heckerling`s (Clueless) directorial debut brings to life first-time screenwriter Cameron Crowe`s (Almost Famous) insider`s view of teenage American life in the 1980s.
Featuring decade-defining music from the Go-Go`s, Oingo Boingo and The Cars, plus film debuts of future stars Nicolas Cage, Eric Stoltz and Anthony Edwards, Fast Times at Ridgemont High remains as fresh and funny today as it was a generation ago when it defined the outrageous and bold teen comedy genre.
