Rumble Fish is the sensitive and provocative story of a teenager, Rusty-James, who is totally without direction in his life and only longs to be like his older brother, The Motorcycle Boy. His brother, however, has seen it all and has no place left to go. Their world is about to cave in on them. In stunning visual images and an innovative musical score, Rumble Fish conveys a sense of time running out for teenagers racing toward adulthood.
