In the 1970s, a group of apathetic teen surfers from a rough neighborhood known as "Dogtown" in Santa Monica, California, created a cultural revolution by transforming skateboarding from a recreational activity into an extreme sport.
When a shipment of urethane wheels arrives at Santa Monica's Zephyr Surf/Skate Shop (traded by Mitch Hedberg's character to the owner of the shop for weed) the owner, Skip Engblom, played by Heath Ledger, puts together a team of local layabout skaters to compete.
Known as the Zephyr Skateboard Team, the boys transferred their surf skills to drain pipes and empty swimming pools with stunning results. Their acrobatic maneuvers inspired generations of teens to join the skateboarding frenzy and catapulted them to fame and fortune.
The movie is based on the real rise of skateboarding started by Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva and Jay Adams. It follows their friendship, the rise and fall of the Zephyr skateboarding team and the tragic loss of one of their friends, Sid, to brain cancer. It follows their rise to fame and the struggle to stay on top as they begin to turn on each other.
The movie has a soundtrack (Lords of Dogtown: Music From the Motion Picture) featuring songs by David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, and Iggy Pop, among others.[1]
