The true story of teenager Rocky Dennis, born with a disfiguring bone ailment causing his face to appear mask-like. He is supported by his loving mother Rusty, a biker who has an unfortunate reliance on alcohol and drugs. Touching and inspirational film, but does not feel like an afterschool special; one of Cher's best performances. Won Oscar for Best Makeup.
