Fast Times at Ridgemont High

Fast Times delves into the lives of high school students in sunny Southern California, inspired by the true experiences documented by Cameron Crowe. The film centers around Stacy Hamilton and Mark Ratner, who navigate the tumultuous world of adolescent romance with the guidance of their more experienced peers: Linda Barrett for Stacy, and Mike Damone for Mark. At the heart of the story lies Jeff Spicoli, a free-spirited surfer forever caught in a haze of marijuana smoke, whose confrontation with the uncompromising Mr. Hand - a teacher convinced that his entire student body is under the influence - drives a significant portion of the movie's narrative.
