Story Synopsis

The Wanderers is about living life as a teenager in The Bronx of the early ‘60s. The daily responsibilities consisted of showing up to class, making out with your sweetheart and running with your gang. For Richie (Ken Wahl), his gang is the Wanderers—Italian-American boys always ready to rumble rival gangs like the Fordham Baldies or the Ducky Boys for honor or turf. Life was pretty simple until the assassination of President Kennedy forced them to face the changing world around them. Of all the ‘50s and ‘60s coming-of-age movies made since those decades, this is one of the best.
