In this coming-of-age comedy-drama film, a high school social outcast named Will Burton (Gaelan Connell) agrees to manage a fledgling rock band led by popular student Charlotte Banks (Alyson Michalka) with the goal of winning their school's annual battle of the bands competition, Bandslam. Along the way, Will and Charlotte grow closer, but their relationship is threatened when Will stands up Sa5m (Vanessa Hudgens), a timid girl who is also a member of the band, for a date. Meanwhile, Will's reputation at school improves as he helps the band gain popularity and find their unique sound. However, tensions arise when Will's past mistakes come back to haunt him and Charlotte's father passes away, causing her to re-evaluate her life priorities. In the end, the band must overcome their personal differences and come together to win the competition and find their own voices. Featuring a talented cast, including David Bowie in a cameo appearance, Bandslam is a heartwarming film about music, friendship, and self-discovery.
