SLC Punk! (1998) is an independent film directed by James Merendino; SLC is an acronym for Salt Lake City. The movie is about a young punk called Stevo (although his license shows his real name to be Steven Levy), who is an "anarchist" in the mid 1980s.
The story is based on real characters; many events in the movie, including party scenes, drug-crazed characters, and others are allegedly based on real events, although these may have been exaggerated.
Two punks live in Salt Lake City. The film covers their all-day routine. The realism of the character-narrated movie may be discussed. One of the punks gets ill, stays in hospital for three weeks, comes out again. Three parties are covered and one concert including a fight between punks, rednecks and others.
