If you grew up in the 80s, you certainly remember 'Eddie and The Cruisers'. It tells 'the story of a television newswoman who picks up the story of a 1960s rock band whose long-lost leader Eddie Wilson may still be alive, while searching for the missing tapes of the band's never-released album', according to iMDb.
