While driving down a country road, Carrie Mitchell (Daryl Hannah) is en route to her new life in Salem, Maine. Suddenly, from out of the woods staggers Amy Singer, injured and scared! Carrie pulls over to help, and her young passenger begins to tell Carrie a horrifying story of what happened to her and her friends in the woods. Through a series of flashbacks we witness the horrific events of Amy and her colleagues, who days earlier were out on an environmental studies trip for college. Camped in the forest excavating what they believed was an ancient Indian burial site, they come across an arm bone, with a Rolex watch still attached around the wrist. It dawns on the group that they have discovered a burial ground, but not the type they were seeking! Carrie soon discovers that Amy carries a deadly secret, and the unspeakable horror that happened ! in the woods is far from over.Teenager Johnny Rourke (Aidan Quinn) is reckless. Born on the wrong side of the tracks, he breaks the law and girls' hearts with equal cool. Cheerleader Tracey Prescott (Daryl Hannah) is reckless too. She dumps her conventional life and boring boyfriend to follow Johnny wherever his dangerous path leads.
Set to a driving rock score, Reckless captures three talents at the start of their careers. The film marks Quinn's (Legends of the Fall) film debut, showcases Hannah one month before she made a Splash with Tom Hanks and features a screenplay by Chris Columbus, whose Gremlins and The Goonies soon stormed the box office.

One of a series of "angry teen" moves in the '80s,
Reckless (1984) stars Aidan Quinn as rebellious youth Johnny Rourke and Daryl Hannah as Tracey Prescott, an upper-class good girl who! falls in love with bad boy Johnny in a Rust Belt town. While! the fil m is well known for launching the careers of its young stars (Jennifer Grey and Adam Baldwin also appear in small roles, and Chris Columbus wrote the screenplay), it also distinguishes itself by the driving rock soundtrack. Romeo Void's "Never Say Never," Bob Seger's "Roll Me Away," Kim Wilde's "Kids in America," and three songs ("The One Thing," "Soul Mistake," and "To Look at You") from
Shabooh Shoobah, an album from a then-unknown Australian band called INXS, punctuate the sizzling chemistry between Quinn and Hannah, especially in scenes on the dance floor and late at night at the high school.
