The immortal James Dean ended his big-screen legacy with this 1955 classic, an ode to teenagers and delinquents. Rebellious and emotionally scarred, teenager Jim Stark rages against the adult world and seeks the love his family didn't give him. Co- stars Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo and Edward Platt. This was the first film to have Dean top billed, released shortly after his Academy Award-nominated role in East of Eden and less than a month after his fatal car crash.

The New York Times
The New York Times"The drama and hepcat dialogue feel clunky now, but the movie's plea for dads to talk to their children - what we now call emotional literacy - is valid enough."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"Like its hero, desperately wants to say something and doesn't know what it is. If it did know, it would lose its fascination."
—
Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"Doomed romantic idealism and telling performances make this the most timeless of Ray's gripping, socially aware dramas."
