Follows a group of high school students growing up in southern California, based on the real-life adventures chronicled by Cameron Crowe. Stacy Hamilton and Mark Ratner are looking for a love interest, and are helped along by their older classmates, Linda Barrett and Mike Damone, respectively. The center of the film is held by Jeff Spicoli, a perpetually stoned surfer dude who faces off with the resolute Mr.Hand, who is convinced that everyone is on dope.

Fast Times At Ridgemont High, directed by Amy Heckerling (Clueless, Loser), is simply a modern cult classic. First-time screenwriter Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous) went undercover as a high school student and came back with the straight dope on sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, while capturing some of the most memorable screen characters ever. They're all here, from Stacy (Jennifer Jason Leigh from Backdraft) and Linda's (Phoebe Cates from Gremlins) sexual misadventures, to go-getter Brad's (Judge Reinhold from Beverly Hills Cop) quick career in the world of fast food to the unforgettable Spicoli (Sean Penn from U Turn) as the ultimate surfer dude. Add appearances from Nicolas Cage (from Gone In Sixty Seconds), Anthony Edwards (from Top Gun), Forest Whitaker (from Panic Room) and Ray Walston (from The Sting) and you have an unbeatable cast. With all this talent behind it, no wonder "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" is as honest, fresh and funny as it was a generation ago.
