Kristen Stewart Gallery! The Runaways is a 2010 biopic of 1970s all-girl rock band of the same name.
Kristen Stewart Gallery! The Runaways was written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, and stars Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett, Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie, Stella Maeve as Sandy West, Scout Taylor-Compton as Lita Ford, and Michael Shannon as Kim Fowley.
Kristen Stewart Gallery! Alia Shawkat plays the band's bassist, a fictional character named Robin. None of The Runaways former bassists are portrayed in the film.
Kristen Stewart Gallery! The Runaways is loosely based on lead-singer Cherie Currie's 1989 autobiography Neon Angel: The Cherie Currie Story which details her fractured childhood, the group's meteoric rise to fame, and her subsequent battle and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
Kristen Stewart Gallery! The Runaways covers the formation of the band through to Cherie's departure at the peak of their success. Jett has stated that "The Runaways" is "absolutely not a biopic. It's not fact-for-fact. What they did was basically take elements from the Runaways story and created a parallel narrative."
