Synopsis

Quadrophenia follows the bitter battle between the Mods and the Rockers, two rival biker gangs. The story is seen through the eyes of Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels), an angry young man whose hatred of authority and mediocrity is matched only by his passion for rhythm and blues music. When the Mods and Rockers both arrive in Brighton on holiday a riot breaks out, landing Jimmy in prison with Ace (Sting in his acting debut), the idolized leader of the Mods. Jimmy returns to London where his parents kick him out and he loses his job. He then discovers Ace is working as a bootlicking bellboy, leaving Jimmy confused and enraged. He hijacks a scooter and rides to the cliff tops that act as a highly symbolic backdrop for the film's bleak conclusion.

An epic trailer for an epic film.

Review

It's Mods versus Rockers in The Who's gripping portrait of teenage anguish and anger played out in '60s Britain amid pill-popping, gang warfare and rock ’n' roll. This vibrantly-paced film is filled with great music and features the momentous film debut of Sting as an ace face.
