This dramatic documentary tells the story of the life and tragic death of the man who made being a teen rebel cool, James Dean. What is it about Dean that still makes him an American icon? The poster child of cool starred in only 3 movies (all of which were released in 1 year) and was killed in a car wreck at the age of 24.

"The Real James Dean" navigates through his 24-year life with previously unseen footage from screen and wardrobe tests, color "home movie" location footage from East of Eden, excerpts from his personal diaries, and interviews from those who knew and worked with him, including Dennis Hopper, Rod Steiger, Graham Nash, Dick Van Patten, and many more!
