Runaways, The A gritty, gripping, well-acted, factually inspired film, which is loosely based Cherie Currie's memoir Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story, that chronicles sleazy, Hollywood record producer Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon) as he auditions in 1975 five spirited, dropout, teenage high school students, including pill-popping lead singer Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), rhythm guitarist and singer Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart), drummer Sandy West (Stella Maeve), guitarist Lita Ford (Scout Taylor-Compton), and a bassist (Alia Shawkat), to form the sexy, down-and-dirty, all-girl-rock band The Runaways and sent them on tour in cheap motels to open for popular rock'n roll acts such as The Ramones, Cheap Trick, and Tom Petty, which lead to their quick rise to fame and to their equally quick burnout two years later despite hit songs Cheri Bomb and Neon Angels on the Road to Ruin when Cherie, who was estranged from her mother (Tatum O'Neal), left the group in a boozing, drug-addicted haze to return to her jealous sister (Riley Keough) and alcoholic father (Bret Cullen).
