"Reckless" is a 1984 love story starring Daryl Hannah and Aidan Quinn. Directed by James Foley and written by Chris Columbus. Shot in the Appalachian Mountains and Rust Belt of Steubenville, Ohio and Weirton, West Virginia. The film was rated R in the U.S. The soundtrack was by INXS, Romeo Void and Bob Seger.

Plot

Johnny Rourke (Aidan Quinn), rebel teenage outcast, local football hero, falls for sexy upper-class cheerleader Tracey Prescott (Daryl Hannah). A random draw at the high school 'Tin Can' dance pairs the two. Worlds collide and opposites attract as the two fall in love. Living dangerously, Rourke's anti-social behavior clashes with the privileged socialite Prescott. Hopes dashed, future prospects dim and the omnipresent American steel mill looming large in the background of this one-industry-town, Tracey is forced to decide between her stable longtime boyfriend Randy Daniels (Adam Baldwin) and the mysterious misunderstood chaotic Rourke.

Other Notables

This breakthrough film shot Quinn, Hannah and Baldwin to major stardom. Jennifer Grey went on to play Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The main characters in the film appear much older than typical high school students: Quinn was about 24 during filming. The 'Career Day' scene shows the student cards of Gary Daigler (God) and Michael Ballhaus (Brewmaster): both worked on production. The end scene (credits rolling) with Rourke riding a double yellow line, switching from the wrong side of the road to the right, symbolizes Rourke's new found conformity. The film is similar to All The Right Moves: both depict high school life in the depressed Rust Belt during the mid-Eighties and both themes involve characters desperately wanting to get out of Appalachia.
