Diane Lane plays Ellen Aim, a female rock star kidnapped by a motorcycle gang in the 1984 "rock 'n' roll fable" Streets of Fire. The movie takes place in strange, timeless world where everybody is just as surly and pissy as can be all the time.

The band perform "Nowhere Fast," "Never Be You," "Sorcerer," and "Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young." Ellen Aim's singing voice was Laurie Sargent and Holly Sherwood of Fire Inc. The music is horrible 50s-influenced new wave. Her manager/lover is the money grubbing prick Billy Fish (Rick Moranis).

Trivia Time! The movie features Lee Ving of real punk band Fear as a motorcycle hoodlum and real band The Blasters playing at Torchie's, the motorcycle gang hangout.
