High school seniors and best friends Sonny and Duane live in a dying 1950s Texas town. The handsome Duane is dating local beauty Jacy, while Sonny is having an affair with the coach’s wife, Ruth. As graduation nears, both boys contemplate escaping the dead-end town to build a better life elsewhere.

Goodbye to an era! Critic-turned-director Peter Bogdanovich made one of the great American classics with this exquisite drama of small-town life. The stellar cast includes a young Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd, and Hollywood veteran Ben Johnson (who won the Oscar) as the man who’s seen it all.
