Formed in 1975, The Runaways were the original all-girl band, a quintet of sassy, school-aged minxes put together by obnoxiously successful music impresario Kim Fowley.

Gene Hackman plays the coach of the team, Jack Warden is the owner, Brett Cullen is the All-Pro quarterback that goes on strike and Keanu Reeves is the "scab" who replaces the star QB.
