The 1973 dramedy, American Graffiti, directed and co-written by the young film maestro, George Lucas, creator of both the Indiana Jones and Star Wars franchises, tells a story of the post-World War II baby boom generation. Taking place at the end of summer 1962, the film follows the journey of a group of teenagers throughout a rather epic evening. Showcasing life in the early 60s through the rock n’ roll culture, two best friends, having recently graduated high school, display two perspectives on where the journey of life is to take them next: leave town and head east to college or stay in the “dead-end” hometown.
