Christine is an antique 1958 Plymouth Fury and, like most old cars, she has issues. “She’s real sensitive,” owner Arnie Cunningham warns. What he means is that if you offend his car, she might try to kill you.

Those scenes are the best parts in this love story of man and machine. It’s Arnie who fixes Christine up from trash to treasure. His transformation from class nerd to psycho enthusiast is less convincing.
