    Synopsis:
    Dennis Quaid gives a rousing performance as Jerry Lee Lewis, 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 moves to Memphis, determined to dethrone Elvis with his ferocious "God-given" talent. When Jerry Lee bangs out the bass chords with his feet and sets the piano ablaze, fans howl for more. But when he marries his 13-year-old second cousin Myra (Ryder), the scandal nearly kills "The Killer`s" career...
