Starring
Sean Penn, Nicolas Cage, Elizabeth McGovern

A small-town coming-of-age tale starring Sean Penn and Nicolas Cage as Nick and Henry, two street youths who have a last fling before being sent away to war. Nicky's girlfriend (Elizabeth McGovern) needs an abortion so pal Henry hits up the new rich girl in town for the cash, only to discover her surprising secret. Already tagged as the new James Dean, Penn delivers a restrained follow-up to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, while director Richard Benjamin's (Mermaids) peerless period detail buoys the youth-oriented plot. Back to the Future's Crispin Glover makes his mark in a cameo.
