Endlessly sampled, imitated and debated, Wild Style is the truest portrait of hip-hop’s adolescence and remains one of the most important music films of the 20th century.
In this groundbreaking hybrid of fiction and documentary from filmmaker Charlie Ahearn, lone graffiti artist Lee “Zoro” Quiñones studies for success on his own terms while mingling with some of the coolest people to have ever walked the earth. Featuring historic and electric live performances by Grandmaster Flash, Busy Bee, The Fantastic Five, The Cold Crush Brothers, and The Rock Steady Crew, Wild Style ‘s influence and soul-affirming power cannot be understated—this is cinema for the people.
