About the film
PRESENTED BY BTI
Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens), an eccentric child-like man, loves his red bicycle and will not sell it to his envious neighbor, Francis (Mark Holton). While Pee-wee visits his friend Dottie (Elizabeth Daily), the bike is stolen. Thinking his bike is at the Alamo, Pee-wee sets off on a trip, where he meets many remarkable people, including waitress Simone (Diane Salinger) and a motorcycle gang. Eventually, Pee-wee discovers that his bike is being used in a movie and tries to recover it.
Simultaneously dumb, silly, knowing, and utterly surreal, "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" is the sort of warped children's picture that might have resulted if the early Woody Allen had collaborated with Federico Fellini.
