Fast Times at Ridgemont High is a 1982 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film directed by Amy Heckerling, from a screenplay by Cameron Crowe, based on his 1981 book Fast Times at Ridgemont High: A True Story. Crowe went undercover at Clairemont High School in San Diego and wrote about his experiences. The film chronicles a school year in the lives of sophomores Stacy Hamilton and Mark Ratner and their older friends Linda Barrett and Mike Damone, both of whom believe themselves wiser in the ways of romance than their younger counterparts. The ensemble cast of characters form two subplots with Jeff Spicoli, a perpetually stoned surfer, facing off against history teacher Mr. Hand, and Stacy's older brother, Brad, a senior who works in entry-level jobs to pay for his car and ponders ending his two-year relationship with his girlfriend, Lisa.
