The film Roadie is about a man named Jimmy who, after being fired from his job as a roadie for the band Blue Oyster Cult, becomes broke and desperate. With nowhere else to go, he returns home to Forest Hills, Queens to visit his aging mother where a wild night with some hard-partying high school friends shows him that some things never change. From director Michael Cuesta, Roadie features powerful performances from Ron Eldard, Bobby Cannavale, Jill Hennessy and a refreshingly eclectic 70s hard rock soundtrack. Roy Orbison, Hank Williams Jr., Alice Cooper, and the members of Blondie make cameo appearances in this retro-yet-fresh film.
