The Hollywood Knights (1980)

As the sun sets on Halloween 1965, the glitz and glamour of Hollywood serve as a backdrop for the final night of a beloved local institution, the Tubby's Drive-In, the cherished hangout of a spirited band of youths known as the Hollywood Knights. With its imminent closure orchestrated by the disapproving local elite, the drive-in's last hours promise to be anything but dull. Under the audacious leadership of the quick-witted Turk, the Hollywood Knights decide not to go gentle into that good night. Instead, they vow to leave a lasting mark on Beverly Hills, turning the city into their playground. Their farewell tribute to Tubby's includes a series of chaotic pranks and thrilling drag races, painting the town with their rebellious spirit. As the clock ticks towards midnight, the Knights' new pledges face a daring rite of passage. They must infiltrate the airwaves, requesting a song and announcing the drive-in's closure on a live radio show, hosted by the legendary DJ Wolfman Jack. Their mission is fraught with tension and excitement, a symbolic act of defiance, and a testament to their camaraderie. Amidst the mischief, two Knights grapple with their personal dilemmas. One prepares for his last day before deploying to Vietnam, seizing every moment of freedom and brotherhood. Meanwhile, another Knight navigates the treacherous waters of high school romance, his relationship hanging in the balance. "The Hollywood Knights" is a nostalgic rollercoaster ride, capturing the youthful exuberance and poignant moments of an era that's about to end. With laughter, love, and a dash of rebellion, it's a story about seizing the day, standing up to authority, and cherishing the bonds of friendship.
