Synopsis

It's the Mods versus the Rockers in this striking adaptation of The Who's classic rock opera about alienated youth in the 1960s. The film follows Jimmy (Phil Daniels) an angry young man who feels that he can only achieve a sense of identity and meaning in life through his gang and Mod music. This edgy time capsule also features Sting (in his acting debut), Leslie Ash, and Ray Winstone. In addition to The Who songs such as 'Love, Reign O'er Me', 'The Real Me', and 'My Generation', the soundtrack includes R&B classics by James Brown, Marvin Gaye, and others.
