Get ready for a “rock ‘n’ roll fable” unlike anything you’ve seen before in this sexy, gritty thriller starring Hollywood heavyhitters Willem Dafoe, Diane Lane, Amy Madigan, Michael Paré and Rick Moranis. When tempestuous singer Ellen Aim (Lane) is kidnapped by the vicious Raven Shaddock (Dafoe) and a ruthless gang of motorcycle thugs, it’s up to a handsome loner (Paré) to rescue her. With the assistance of a hard-as-nails woman warrior (Madigan) and manager Billy Fish (Moranis), he enters a shocking world of neon-lit streets, fast cars, and killer assassins lurking around every corner. Powered by an intense soundtrack, performed by such greats as The Fixx and The Blasters, this cult classic features songs written by Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty and Ry Cooder. It’s an all-out attack on the senses that you can’t afford to miss!

Critics Consensus: Streets of Fire may sometimes buckle under the strain of its ambitious fusion of disparate genres, but Walter Hill's bravura style gives this motorcycle musical fuel to burn.

Though a failure at the box-office when released, it has aged well and doesn't look that bad when viewed today.

Walter Hill directs the hell out of this and there are more people in the cast who understand the assignment than do not. But boy do the ones who blow it, along with some second-tier songs from Jim Steinman, render this one of Hill's weaker efforts.

Not only is it the greatest opening sequence of Hill’s career, it’s the greatest opening in film history, period.

Streets of Fire is the most innovative, ground-breaking film to be seen this year outside of the Coppola stable.
