Nerdy high schooler Arnie Cunningham falls for Christine, a rusty 1958 Plymouth Fury, and becomes obsessed with restoring the classic automobile to her former glory. As the car changes, so does Arnie, whose newfound confidence turns to arrogance behind the wheel of his exotic beauty. Arnie's girlfriend Leigh and best friend Dennis reach out to him, only to be met by a Fury like no other.

“Death to the shitters of the world” 🩸
this film is one of my all time favourites & such an 80s classic 🖤 A possessed murderous car? That’s so iconic if you ask me

The perfect blend of 80's thriller and movies about classic cars.
I think Driver from Drive (2011) would make this movie his whole personality.
