Hollywood's famed Sunset Strip, 1987. Rockers wail and heads bang inside the packed and pulsating walls of a rock 'n' roll institution, The Bourbon Room. Heart strings are plucked and electric guitar sparks fly to the beat of some of the greatest hits of the '80s…

Under the direction of Adam Shankman (Hairspray), New Line Cinema's feature film adaptation of the smash hit Broadway musical Rock of Ages comes to the big screen.

The film tells the story of small town girl Sherrie and city boy Drew, who meet on the Sunset Strip while pursuing their Hollywood dreams. Their rock 'n' roll romance is told through the heart-pounding hits of Def Leppard, Foreigner, Journey, Poison, REO Speedwagon, Twisted Sister and more.

The movie musical stars Julianne Hough (Burlesque), with actor/singer Diego Boneta in his feature film debut, Russell Brand (Arthur), Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti (Cinderella Man), Academy Award winner Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago), Malin Akerman (The Proposal) and R&B queen Mary J. Blige, with Emmy-winner Alec Baldwin (30 Rock), and Oscar nominee Tom Cruise as Stacee Jaxx.

Rock of Ages opens in cinemas across South Africa on 6 July.
