Eddie and the Cruisers, a major rock 'n' roll band in the early '60s, fell off the radar when singer Eddie vanished after a dispute over their experimental second album. And 20 years after, a television newswoman decides to investigate the legendary disappearance of leader Eddie Wilson who may still be alive, while searching for the missing tapes of the band's never-released album.
Aside from Eddie And The Cruisers' funky structure, the music remains its chief selling point-though Cafferty's songs don't plausibly pass for early 1960s tunes.

I tend to doubt that you will ever see this movie double billed with Citizen Kane, but the two movies are structured pretty similarly.
Eddie and the Cruisers is a mish-mash of a film, combining elements of the ongoing nostalgia for rock music of previous decades with an unworkable and laughable mystery plotline.
