After moving to a new town, troublemaking teen Jim Stark is supposed to have a clean slate, although being the new kid in town brings its own problems. While searching for some stability, Stark forms a bond with a disturbed classmate, Plato, and falls for local girl Judy. However, Judy is the girlfriend of neighborhood tough, Buzz. When Buzz violently confronts Jim and challenges him to a drag race, the new kid's real troubles begin.
Editor's Verdict
"Rebel Without a Cause shows no meaningful connection to the Christmas season in its setting, plot, themes, iconography, or resolution. It is a classic teen drama focused on alienation and mortality."
