EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS is a movie directed by Martin Davidson in 1983.
Tom -Wordman- Berenger was a member of the band Eddie and the Cruisers in the beginning of the sixties. Now, 18 years later, it's revival time and the Cruisers have gained a new celebrity. Contacted by the journalist Ellen Barkin who's looking for the tapes of the last recording session of the Cruisers, Tom Berenger remembers his special relation with Eddie Wilson, the singer of the band.
