"Lords of Dogtown" Movie Synopsis: In the 1970s, a group of teenage surfers from a tough neighborhood known as Dogtown in Venice, California pioneered a revolutionary new style of skateboarding. Riding the waves at the Pacific Ocean Park pier, the Z-Boys, known for their aggressive style and hard street attitude, combined the death-defying moves of surfing with the art of skateboarding and became overnight sensations and local legends.

With empty pools as their canvas, the Z-Boys paved the way to what is now referred to as 'extreme sports,' and created a lifestyle that spread infectiously to become a worldwide counterculture phenomenom. But all this fame would take its toll on the friendships that they though would last a lifetime as the sport that started out as an afternoon hobby turned into big business.

Starring Emile Hirsch as Jay Adams, Victor Rasuk as Tony Alva, Heath Ledger as Skip Engblom and John Robinson as Stacy Peralta.
