Great Balls of Fire!
1989 · 1h 48m · Drama, History, Music · United States of America · Rated PG-13 (US)
The true story of a legend.
The story of Jerry Lee Lewis, arguably the greatest and certainly one of the wildest musicians of the 1950s. His arrogance, remarkable talent, and unconventional lifestyle often brought him into conflict with others in the industry, and even earned him the scorn and condemnation of the public.
