Celluloid Heroes

A bunch of college kids are on a road trip and they decide to camp when a large truck pulls up and saturates their campground with its headlights. They don't like that. The tough guy (Chad Michael Murray, who was better in Freaky Friday) throws a beer bottle and breaks a headlight. The truck leaves. Everyone goes to sleep until the next morning. Well, afternoon. They are college kids.

Then they realize that the fan belt on one of the cars is broken, so they need to go into town to get a replacement. That's when things start to get a little more interesting.

Anna (Lindsay Lohan) is a bit of a slacker who just wants her mom to leave her alone - especially since her mom is getting married, and this boyfriend isn't Anna's dad.

Other than that one flaw, he's not a bad guy. Anna's mom Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) probably just needs to loosen up a little - but that doesn't mean she's ready to do so, unless she's forced into it.

The story begins in a classy residential building in New York, where Chris Thorne (Chevy Chase) is trying to meet a girl (Demi Moore). As men have a habit of doing, he quickly volunteers to help out - in this case, by driving her the next day on a trip to Atlantic City.

They take a detour on this trip by looking at a mapping device that looks like a GPS of some sort (unlikely what we see today, being that the movie is from 1991) and end up in the remote mining town of Valkenvania, run by the Reev (Dan Aykroyd).
