Description:
A shy teen turns on the high school crowd when he broadcasts outrageous nightly monologues on a pirate radio station. Starring Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis.
Amazon.com:
In the suburban hinterlands of Arizona, pirate-radio DJ Hard Harry wages a one-man war against boredom from his bedroom transmitter by night. In between great Lenny Bruce-style stream-of-consciousness rants, Harry attacks the airwaves with the likes of the Descendents, Bad Brains, and Concrete Blonde, as well as occasionally kickin' it old school with some early hip-hop. By day, though, Hard Harry is Mark Hunter, a painfully shy new kid who's anonymous to the point of being invisible at Hubert Humphrey High School. Completely misunderstood by his '60s-era parents, Mark is desperate to keep his radio alter ego separate from his day-to-day persona, especially as his radio shows draw more attention from the authorities. Fellow misfit Nora (Samantha Mathis, in her first feature role) eventually discovers Hard Harry's true identity, much to Mark's chagrin, and the two of them become torchbearers against the stifling status quo of the town as they dodge the police, the school administration, and the FCC. There are familiar high school authority archetypes (the assistant principal with clip-on tie, lemon-yellow K-Mart short-sleeved dress shirt, military flattop, and bulky key ring) and a rather strained subplot of a corrupt school administration. Mainly, though, this is a rousing teen call-to-arms that showcases Slater's talents as he developed the cynical, sarcastic neo-Jack Nicholson delivery that would become his trademark. He's at his best during his radio monologues (making them truly seem ad-libbed), and his influences become clear as he checks out a copy of How to Talk Dirty and Influence People from the library. --Jerry Renshaw

This is one of those movies that deserves the special edition treatment, but has yet to see one. And, to the person that cited DREAM A LITTLE DREAM as being on the same level, you have no taste. DREAM A LITTLE DREAM is mediocre and shouldn't be mentioned in relation to VOLUME, or John Hughes, or GOOD.

This is one of my favorite movies. It is definitely the last great teen movie. Maybe the best teen movie. I think when I first saw this film afterwards I felt like rebelling for the first time.

Released between Heathers and True Romance, this movie is an often forgotten Christian Slater classic. Full of teen angst BS, it's also a heart-felt story with believable characters on all sides. If you didn't see it before the age of 20, you probably will think it's juvinile in it's outlook, but if you did, it's a nice reminder of how it felt to grow up post Reagan and pre internet.

Having watched this again for the second time in my life I have to say that I'm surprised at how well this film holds up. Notice - I called it a film and not a movie. The last time I saw this was in a dark theatre the weekend it was released in 1990. Christian Slater probably delivers his most memorable performance yet in this film despite the popularity of Heathers which is actually dominated by Winona Ryder.
"Pump up the Volume" was an underground hit and must-see VHS rental ... Read More

This movie is not just a "cliche" of teenagers not being understood by their parents. It is more than that, and has different levels. Try to understand the differences between living in the city and a very small old fashioned town in the States; and how much it affects an adolescent the moving out from one to another, and how to canalize the psychological effects.
On the other hand the adolescence is a very interesting period of our lives in which we are looking for our own identity and personality ... Read More
