How do you kill something that can't possibly be alive?

Nerdy high schooler Arnie Cunningham falls for Christine, a rusty 1958 Plymouth Fury, and becomes obsessed with restoring the classic automobile to her former glory.

Arnie's girlfriend Leigh and best friend Dennis reach out to him, only to be met by a Fury like no other.
