Orchestra manager Steve Hollis realizes that big-band music is dead. People want something new, but what? On their way to New York, Steve and his companion Corny, stop at a motel in a small place called Strawberry Springs. It's Saturday evening, and a huge number of young people are going to the Town Hall to listen to a local band called Bill Haley and His Comets, playing a new kind of music called rock'n'roll. It is accompanied by a new way of dancing, led by the siblings Lisa and Jimmy Johns. Steve immediately recognizes that this could be what all America is waiting for. He convinces the band and the dancers to let him organize their nationwide breakthrough, and goes to New York to arrange bookings with the top agent Corinne Talbot. Corinne has for a long time tried to get Steve to marry her, but in vain. She now realizes that Steve is in love with the young dancer Lisa Johns, which makes her change her strategy. Corinne tries to stop the rock'n'roll group everywhere, but despite all her efforts they soon are a big success all over the country. And Lisa is smarter than Corinne.

User Review - 10/10 by Gretchen AA great feel good kind of movie. It was awesome to see Bill Haley and the Comets in action. The dancers in this movie were amazing!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Jo YBill Haley started it all. He isthe first rocker...
User Review - 8/10 by Christopher BFun flick that loosely portrays some of how rock and roll came to the forefront of popular music. The artists may be lip-synching, but that doesn't take away from the classiness - and Allan Freed plays himself!! Bonus! Several full songs are well filmed with both the bands and the *crazy* dance moves featured. The rest of the film mirrors the business side of a budding new slant within the music business. The more things change....
User Review - 8/10 by Mitch AYou are a square if you haven't seen this movie.
User Review - 8/10 by clive hrock n roll with the man who started it all
User Review - 8/10 by Gregory Wgtreat kinda doc that showcases many early rock performers plus alan freed!
User Review - 6/10 by Jonathan MFun film that has terrible snappy dialogue between the musical numbers.
User Review - 6/10 by Lou SJesus Christ, Bill Haley is one uncool guy. While Elvis is no longer controversial at all, he still comes off as cool when you see old footage of him. Bill Haley, on the other hand, comes off like a lame middle-age white dude who finds Elvis to be "totally crazy". Also: the age difference with love interests back in the day is kind of creepy. Why can't you just cast a dude who's not twice as old as his female counterpart?
