A lighthearted, high-energy comedy about three lovable metalheads whose misguided hijacking scheme becomes a celebration of friendship, dreams, and rock music.

The Lone Rangers have heavy-metal dreams and a single demo tape they can't get anyone to play. The solution: Hijack an FM rock radio station and hold the deejays hostage until they agree to broadcast the band's tape.
