PLOT SUMMARY

High school geek Arnie Cunningham falls in love with a bright red 1958 Plymouth Fury he names "Christine".  The car has seen much better days, but he sets himself the task of restoring the classic to its original condition. Slowly the car has an effect on Arnie, it gives him confidence and supports him.  It appears there is a love affair between the car and its new owner, as the car begins to look good again. His friends notice that the car is not the only thing that is changing. Arnie seems to spend more and more time with Christine. He's also developed a sort of cocky arrogance which does not seem like the old Arnie at all.
