| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
For years, Bliss Cavendar (Academy Award® nominee Ellen
Page) has been dreaming of escaping her tiny, truck-stop of
a town Bodeen, Texas. Unfortunately her devoted, beauty pageant
obsessed mother (Academy Award® winner Marcia Gay Harden)
is convinced that Bliss can only succeed in life if she wins
the crown at the local Miss Blue Bonnet Pageant, but the awkward
outsider knows there’s something bigger and better out
there. When Bliss sneaks off to the big city of Austin with
her best friend Pash (Alia Shawkat) she discovers a world
unlike anything she could ever imagine: roller derby, with
its girl-power-meets-punk-rock spirit and its liberating celebration
of wild individuality.
Inspired by the likes of Maggie Mayhem (Kristen Wiig), Bliss
secretly tries out for a spot on the Hurl Scouts, a rag-tag
team of scrappy underdogs. Soon she’s trading in her
gowns and crowns for skirts, skates and scrapes becoming her
alter ego, Babe Ruthless. Leading a precarious double life,
Bliss may be a waitress at Bodeen’s Oink Joint by day,
but by night, she’s becoming the fastest thing on eight
wheels. Now she’s doing things she never dreamed of
-- fearlessly facing off with bad-ass rivals like Iron Maven
(Academy Award® nominee Juliette Lewis) and falling for
a boy in a band (singer/songwriter Landon Pigg) -- while trying
to be a heroine to her new friends and teammates. But when
her secret gets out, Bliss will face her toughest fight yet:
to take control of the future . . . on her own terms.
