Christine (1983 film)

Christine is a 1983 American horror film directed by John Carpenter and starring Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul and Harry Dean Stanton. The film also features supporting performances from Roberts Blossom and Kelly Preston. It was written by Bill Phillips and based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King, published in 1983. The story, set in 1978, follows a sentient and violent vintage Plymouth Fury named "Christine," and its effects on the car's teenaged owner.

Plot

In the beginning, a red/white 1958 Plymouth Fury is being built on the assembly line. While a worker begins to inspect the engine for any mistakes, the car surprisingly closes its hood on his hand, injuring him. After the injured man is taken away, and during closing time, another worker is killed in the Fury, supposedly from inhaling exhaust fumes in the car.

Twenty years later, Arnold Cunningham (Keith Gordon) is a nerdy teen with only one friend, Dennis Guilder (John Stockwell). Arnie's life begins to change when he buys the same used Fury coupe, now named "Christine," that is in need of extensive repairs amounting to a full restoration over Dennis' objections and against his advice. He gets into a fight at school with Buddy Repperton, an overaged for high school teenager, who draws down on Arnie with a switchblade and is expelled as a result. Arnie begins to restore Christine in defiance of his parents (who force him to park Christine at Darnell's Do-It-Yourself Garage). As he spends more of his time repairing her, he begins to change, shedding his glasses, dressing better, and developing a cocky arrogance at odds with his previous nerdiness.
