The Punk

David, a London street kid falls in love with little rich girl Rachel, but their romance is frowned upon by their parents and peers. When David kills a man in self-defence, he goes on the run from his policeman father, while Rachel tries to find him first.

Directed by Michael Sarne, The Punk leans on a strong ensemble — Charlie Creed-Miles, Vanessa Hadaway, David Shawyer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1993.
