Reckless
Girls like Tracy never tell their parents about guys like Rourke.
Directed by James Foley
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Edgar J. Scherick Associates
A passionate 1980s teen romance about two reckless young lovers from opposite sides of the tracks who defy convention for each other.
Teenager Johnny Rourke is reckless. Born on the wrong side of the tracks, he breaks the law and girls' hearts with equal cool. Cheerleader Tracey Prescott is reckless too. She dumps her conventional life and boring boyfriend to follow Johnny wherever his dangerous path leads.
