James Dean's remarkable talent and rebel attitude took Hollywood by storm. But as Dean's star begins to rise, his passionate affair with Italian ingenue Pier Angeli angers her disapproving mother and studio chief Jack Warner. How did a broken heart, reckless behavior and his relationships with Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo and director George Stevens lead to Dean's ultimate race with destiny? This revealing biopic goes behind the myth to tell the true story of the superstar who lived fast, died young and left a legacy that changed movies forever.
