Lashing out against his dead-end life, alienated youth Jimmy (Phil Daniels) hangs out with his gang of Mods, does drugs and battles members of rival gang the Rockers in this landmark rock opera based on the Who's smash-hit album. As the antagonism between the two groups grows, Jimmy becomes involved with a local girl and forms a bond with Mod leader Ace Face (Sting). The soundtrack includes music by the Who, James Brown, Marvin Gaye and more.
