As The Blasters perform One Bad Stud, villain Raven Shaddock (Willem Defoe) meets the kidnapped Ellen Aim and reveals his wicked plan to her... What is Streets of Fire about? Streets of Fire is a 1984 American neo-noir rock musical film directed by Walter Hill and co-written by Hill and Larry Gross. It is described in the opening credits and posters as “A Rock & Roll Fable“ and is a mix of various movie genres with elements of retro-1950s woven into then-current 1980s themes. The film stars Michael Paré, Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, Amy Madigan, Willem Dafoe, E.G. Daily, and Deborah Van Valkenburgh. In Richmond, a city district in a time period that resembles the 1950s (labelled “another time, another place“), Ellen Aim, lead singer of Ellen Aim and the Attackers, has returned home for a concert. The Bombers, a biker gang from another part of town called the Battery, led by Raven Shaddock, crash the concert and kidnap Ellen. Watch Streets of Fire here:
