American Graffiti

A film about youth, for youth. American Graffiti is a nostalgic homage to an era of flirting, drag racing, and rock ’n’ roll, inspired by the experiences of its director, George Lucas. This ode to the end of innocence also marks the end of Lucas's own, as the film earned more than 15 times its budget, launched the careers of its young cast, and pioneered the marketing concept of the movie soundtrack, all while becoming a cult classic. The age of reason had begun.
