They called it "the devil's music."
To this, Jerry Lee Lewis whooped, "If I'm going there playing the piano!" Dennis Quaid gives a rousing performance as the defiant rock 'n' roll superstar who broke all the rules, Co-starring Winona Ryder as Jerry Lee's teenage bride and Alec Baldwin as his evangelical cousin Jimmy Swaggart, and featuring scorching piano and vocals re-recorded by the legendary Lewis himself, Great Balls of Fire! is a wild ride back to the early days of rock 'n' roll that will leave you "B-B-B-Breathless"!

In 1956, Louisiana bad boy Jerry Lee Lewis (Quaid) moves to Memphis, determined to dethrone Elvis with his ferocious, "God-given" talent. When Jerry Lee bangs out the bass chords with his feet, fans howl for more. When he finishes a performance by setting his piano ablaze they mob the stage. But when he marries his 13-year old second cousin Myra (Ryder)... the scandal nearly kills "the Killer's" career.
