East of Eden

Synopsis:

This riveting, memorable classic was James Dean's first movie, and it made him a superstar. He won the first of two Academy Award® nominations for Best Actor, for his performance as the rebellious, unpredictable Cal Trask. Cal's rivalry with his brother over the love of a beautiful young woman, Abra (Harris, Harper, I am a Camera), and the affections of his father, make him grow increasingly frustrated. Soon, his search for the truth about his family brings his whole world crashing down. This movie's credentials are astonishing: with Best Supporting Actress Academy Award® winner, Jo Van Fleet, as the boys' mother, directed by Elia Kazan - director of "On the Waterfront" and "A Streetcar named Desire" - and based on the famous novel by John Steinbeck.
