Synopsis:
It is the summer of 1978 in a small town in Western Pennsylvania. School is out, and puny and pimplish Arnie Cunningham, target of the school bullies, buys a car. No ordinary car, but a huge scarlet and white 1958 Plymouth Fury with rusted chrome fenders, cracked and faded leatherwork and a shattered windscreen; a car more fitted for the scrap-yard than the road. But in his mind’s eye Arnie sees her in the shining glory of her ‘fifties heyday, the Queen of the road, and he her princely escort, cruising to the beat of the radio’s blaring rock and roll. The aura of evil beneath the decay fails to penetrate his vision.
Arnie sets feverishly to work restoring Christine, a task which soon becomes an obsession. As a new car miraculously emerges from the carcass of the old, Arnie slowly undergoes an uncanny transformation himself. Fired by an alien desire for revenge on a hostile world, he becomes no longer the possessor but the possessed. A dark and gruesome history is repeating itself. Past the chrome grin of the car’s radiator grille can be glimpsed the jaws of Hell itself, and by the time the end can be foreseen, it is appallingly late…
