Detroit Rock City (1999) - Details

Detroit Rock City is a film about four teenage boys growing up in the 1970's, who aren't too fond of disco music, but worship the rock-and-roll band KISS. One of the guys obtains KISS tickets, but his mother is not too thrilled when she discovers them. So, instead of allowing her son to go see the concert, she destroys his ticket, as well as the other three. Thinking that they could never go to the KISS concert now, they only have one chance to find a way into that concert. They would do anything to get in, such as beating little kids up for their tickets, taking their clothes off at the local male strip club's amateur night (a la The Full Monty), or even going so far as to rob a convenient store. by Jason Allentoff
