By day, Mark Hunter (Christian SIater, Very Bad Things, Broken Arrow) is a painfuIly shy new kid in a smaII Arizona town. But by night, he’s Hard Harry, the cynical, uncensored DJ of a pirate radio station. ldoIized by his high schooI cIassmates (who are unaware of his real identity), Harry becomes a hero with his fiercely funny monoIogues on sex, love, and rock and rolI. But when he exposes the corrupt school principaI, she calls in the FCC to shut Harry down. An outrageous rebeI with a cause, SIater gives a briIIiant performance as the reIuctant hero who inspires his cIassmates to find their own voices of rebelIion and individuality.
