Overview
Nerdy high schooler Arnie Cunningham falls for Christine, a rusty 1958 Plymouth Fury, and becomes obsessed with restoring the classic automobile to her former glory. As the car changes, so does Arnie, whose newfound confidence turns to arrogance behind the wheel of his exotic beauty. Arnie's girlfriend Leigh and best friend Dennis reach out to him, only to be met by a Fury like no other.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly playful possession narrative where a battered car becomes a malevolent extension of its owner's id, turning a nerdy teenager's obsession into something sinister and revenge-driven. It's Stephen King filtered through chrome and steel, the thrill of transformation twisted into paranoia and vindication.
