In the 1970s, a high school student is given an opportunity to write a story for Rolling Stone Magazine about a rock band he goes on tour with. A film about growing up, first love, disappointment, and the life of a rock star.

Cameron Crowe’s faultlessly tender, nostalgic, and autobiographical look back at his coming-of-age during the golden age of rock is also his best film. It’s all here: a witty Oscar®-winning script; perfect rock soundtrack; sun-dappled cinematography; and Kate Hudson and Billy Crudup, radiating love.
