High school loser Rodney C. Duckworth (Gary Springer) is known as The Rodent until one unforgettable night when he borrows a cherry-new Chevy convertible and goes cruising for the girl of his dreams. With help of dim greaser Calhoun (David Wilson), hot-rodder T.J. Swackhammer (Brian Kerwin) and some very willing women, Rod goes from zero to hero during a wild ride of near- misses, direct-hits and bra-busting fun.

In the tradition of American Graffiti and Porky's, Hometown U.S.A. cruises through a place and time when James Dean rocked the screen while heavy breathing ruled the back seat. Directed by Max Baer, written by Jesse Vint and filled with over 30 classic hits of the era, Hometown U.S.A. is a slice of heaven in '57!
