Joy Ride background

Joy Ride

The coming-of-age story follows a teenager's quest to claim their independence, as they become obsessed with owning a iconic 1955 T-bird, a tangible representation of their transformation from a rebellious youth to a responsible adult.

A group of punks, including Paul, Arnie, Vince, and Dirk, target a sports car owned by Miles, intending to take it for a joyride. When Miles catches them, they begin a campaign of terror against him and his wife, forcing them to flee their home. After a brutal attack on Mrs. Miles, Paul meets Miles to collect the car, but instead, Miles forces him to drive recklessly, eventually leading to their arrest at the police station.
