In Detroit, a 1958 Plymouth Fury is built and causes two accidents, one fatal, on the assembly line in 1957. Twenty-one years later, an outcast nerd named Arnold "Arnie" Cunningham finds the wrecked car for sale and falls in love with it, naming it Christine. As Arnie restores the classic car, he transforms into a cocky teenager, dates the most beautiful girl in school, Leigh Cabot, and becomes selfish and jealous of Christine, which kills anyone threatening their relationship.
