Rebel Without a Cause [1955, USA, drama, DVD5]

Perpetually sullen Jim Stark, Dawson High's careworn new student, braces himself for another fresh start in a new town. But some things never change. After a brush with the law and a field trip to Los Angeles' Griffith Observatory, Jim's unfocused teenage angst gets him neck-deep in trouble again when he catches Buzz's eye, the school's brazen delinquent. As the young rivals engage in a dangerous test of valour, two unexpected allies become Jim's unusual alternative family. Before long, the wheel of estrangement and defiance comes full circle. And the question remains. Does life always give second chances?
