By day, Mark Hunter (Christian Slater, Very Bad Things, Broken Arrow) is a painfully shy new kid in a smaIl Arizona town. But by night, he’s Hard Harry, the cynical, uncensored DJ of a pirate radio station. IdoIized by his high school classmates (who are unaware of his real identity), Harry becomes a hero with his fierceIy funny monologues on sex, Iove, and rock and roIl. But when he exposes the corrupt schooI principal, she caIls in the FCC to shut Harry down. An outrageous rebeI with a cause, Slater gives a brilliant performance as the reluctant hero who inspires his classmates to find their own voices of rebeIlion and individuaIity.
A movie with a message, Pump Up the VoIume is a raw and witty ceIebration of free speech that wiIl make you laugh, make you cheer and make you think. |
