When KISS, the biggest rock act of the '70s rolls into town, four diehard high school fans – Hawk (Furlong), Lex (Andrews), Trip (DeBello) and Jam (Huntington) have concert tickets and are ready to rock. But things take a nasty turn when Jam's zealot of a mother decides she has other plans – and destroys the priceless tickets! Now it's every man for himself as they do just about anything in order to get new ones. Begging, borrowing, stealing and even stripping become the order for the day in this blast from the past teen comedy. KISS fans should watch out for newly shot footage of the legendary gross-out group in action!

Detroit Rock City is a 1999 cult film about four teenagers in a Kiss cover band who try to see their idols in Detroit in 1978. It takes its title from the Kiss song of the same name. The movie failed at the box office, grossing fewer than five million dollars domestically. It has since become a cult classic for Kiss fans and metalheads in general. It has been often compared to the 1993 film Dazed and Confused.
