Rebel Without a Cause

Jim sets out for his first day at Dawson High School and again meets
Judy (who lives nearby) waiting on the corner and offers her a ride.
Seemingly unimpressed by Jim at first, she declines and sarcastically
says, "You know, I bet you're a real yo-yo," and then is picked up by
her "friends", a gang of delinquents led by "Buzz" Gunderson (Corey Allen).
Arriving at school, Jim immediately gets in hot water for unknowingly
stepping on the school insignia. While shunned by most of the student
body, Jim befriends Plato, who comes to idolize him as a father figure.
That afternoon, Jim's class goes on a field trip to the Griffith Observatory, where they see a dramatic presentation of the bleak future of the Earth as the Sun goes through its red giant phase and post red-giant phase.
As he walks out, Buzz and his gang slash one of Jim's tires and then
begin taunting him by clucking and calling him "chicken", which is sure
to set him off. When Jim asks Judy, revealed to be the "property" of
Buzz, why she hangs around with them, Buzz pushes Jim away from her,
then whips out a switchblade
and challenges Jim to a knife fight. Having no knife, Jim refuses, so
Buzz orders one of his gang to lend Jim his knife, but even then Jim
still refuses. When Buzz again calls Jim chicken he goes off, and the
two begin fighting, each one getting minor jabs on the other until Jim
knocks Buzz' knife away and subdues him. Buzz wants another shot at Jim,
which he accepts but not with knives. Buzz suggests stealing a couple
of cars to have a "Chickie Run"
at Millertown Bluff, a high seaside cliff. Jim agrees to meet them that
evening before the observatory security guard runs the gang off. After
they leave, Jim asks Plato what a Chickie Run is.
Jim menceritakan keterlibatannya dalam kecelakaan itu kepada Frank dan Carol, yang menonton laporan berita tentang itu di TV, tetapi ketika Jim akan ke kantor polisi, mereka memperingatkannya untuk tak menyerahkan diri ke polisi.
