Cruise — Official Trailer

added: Thu, Aug 16th '18

Robert Siegel, the acclaimed screenwriter of "The Wrestler" and "The Founder," writes and directs this '80s-set crime romancer about an Italian-American street racer from Queens who embarks on a torrid love affair with a smart, beautiful Jewish girl from Long Island.

Set during the summer of 1987, exploring the rebellious youth culture of its time, "Cruise" casts Spencer Boldman (21 Jump Street, Disney's Lab Rats) as Gio, a two-bit car thief who finds himself in trouble with a local gangster, just as he is having a summer-long affair with the girl of his dreams, a middle-class college girl named Jessica, played here by model-turned-actress Emily Ratajkowski (Gone Girl, I Feel Pretty).

"Cruise" is the second directorial effort from screenwriter Robert Siegel, who also wrote and directed 2009's cult dark comedy "Big Fan" which features a strong lead performance by Patton Oswalt.

Co-starring Sebastian Maniscalco, Kathrine Narducci, Lucas Salvagno, Noah Robbins, and Gino Cafarelli, "Cruise" will be released in theaters on September 28th.

synopsis:
It's the Summer of '87, and Gio (Spencer Boldman), an Italian kid from Queens, has little on his mind but cars and girls. Gio thinks he's got it all figured out until he meets Jessica (Emily Ratajkowski), a nice Jewish girl from Long Island who likes to go undercover for illicit thrills on the wrong side of the tracks. An affectionate look at the youth culture of a bygone era, CRUISE celebrates the joys of muscle cars, Motorola pagers and endless summer nights.
