Empire Records
Empire Records
Empire Records centers around a group of young employees who work at an indie record store in a small town. When the store is at risk of being sold to a large corporation, the staff band together to save it. The film features a mix of quirky characters, including the rebellious and misunderstood manager, and captures the 90s culture of youth rebellion and the desire to avoid "selling out." Despite failing at the box office, the film gained a devoted following through repeated cable airings and home video sales, especially among those who grew up in the 90s. The film’s mix of humor, music, and coming-of-age themes has made it a beloved cult classic.
