About This Movie

So, 'Roadie' is a funky little gem from 1980 that captures the wild spirit of the rock scene.

The atmosphere is loose and playful, with a mix of comedy and genuine moments that feel quite authentic. Alan Rudolph’s direction gives it a laid-back pace, letting the characters breathe. The performances, especially from the leads, bring a quirky energy that feels natural. And the practical effects, like the crazy concert stunts, really draw you into that gritty rock-and-roll world. It's a snapshot of that era, for sure, and has a unique charm that sticks with you.
