Jailbreakers

1994 · 76 min

A lurid, pulpy teen-crime melodrama that plays like a 1950s cautionary tale, full of doomed romance and jittery menace.

Overview: 15-year-old high school cheerleader Angel falls in love with Tony, a leather-clad, dope-smoking biker. When Tony robs two jewelry stores, Angel’s local reputation is soiled, and her parents move the family to Bakersfield for a new beginning. But Tony soon makes a desperate escape from jail and goes hunting for his girlfriend.
