Prince's iconic, oscar-winning feature film debut with one of cinema's greatest soundtrack albums.

While trying to avoid making the same mistakes as his truculent father (Clarence Williams III), the Kid navigates the club scene and a rocky relationship with a captivating singer, Apollonia (Apollonia Kotero).
