SYNOPSIS
***Special appearances at each show by restoration producers John Alan Simon & Elizabeth Karr
While driving intoxicated, Don Barnes (Dennis Hopper) crashed his truck into a school bus. This accident cost the lives of many town kids and resulted in his five-year sentence to prison for manslaughter. When he finally gets out of jail, Don tries to re-connect with his wife Kathy (Sharon Farrell), now working as a waitress, but promiscuous and drug-addicted. Since his incarceration, their daughter CeBe (Linda Manz) has grown into a traumatized teen misfit, fascinated both by Elvis and the punk rock movement. Each of these lost souls dream in their own way of forming a united family again, struggling against the dark past that still tears them apart.
Azazel Jacobs writes: "I was the age Linda Manz is in OUT OF THE BLUE when I first saw it, and had never seen such a genuine reflection of being a kid in an adult world. I also felt the same about punk as her character does, and the joy she expresses in one particular scene is the one many of us have had, finding a culture just for us. Dennis Hopper’s miraculous and urgent filmmaking, just as punk as “Cebe” (Linda Manz’s character), continues to inspire."
