A classic car called Christine was purchased by Arnie and transported to a repair shop to restore the classic car in its new form. While Arnie is rebuilding the car, he will turn into a cocky teenager. Things change when Arnie turns into an selfish and jealous person from Christine who has become a wicked and supernatural person who kills everyone who poses a threat to them. Christine is the car that was born in Detroit but is not a normal car but a wicked one.
Carpenter's thematic self-consciousness can't entirely overcome a shaky dramatic structure that sacrifices character logic to increasingly meaningless thrills.
