Detroit Rock City
Comedy. Four boys, Hawk, Jam, Lex and Trip are big fans of the rock band Kiss and are eagerly awaiting a concert in Detroit starring their heroes. All seems lost when Jam's mother destroys their precious concert tickets - and even worse, sends her son off to preparatory school. The boys manage to rescue him and win replacement tickets in a contest - only to find that, when they get to Detroit, their tickets have been given away to the runners-up in the contest.
