 "The settings of a rainy, nocturnal, and underground New York serve as a backdrop to the excellent soundtrack, which is the best work done in this film."

 "The film becomes an icon of the '80s but in terms of quality, it’s terrible and not at all ingenious."

Streets of Fire is a 1984 cult movie blending rock n' roll and action directed by Walter Hill. It tells the story of a kidnapped rock star and her rescue. Although the film gained audience favor and iconic 80s status, it suffers from a poor screenplay and weak dialogues. The soundtrack, featuring artists like The Fixx and Ry Cooder, is praised as the film's strongest element. Discover the iconic ‘80s cult film that fuses rock and action—listen for the legendary soundtrack and decide for yourself!
