- Synopsis
- In the mid 1970's, a group of teenage surfers from a tough neighborhood known as "Dogtown" in Venice, California pioneered a revolutionary new style of skateboarding. Riding the waves at the Pacific Ocean Park pier, the Z-Boys, known for their aggressive style and hard street attitude, combined the death-defying moves of surfing with the art of skateboarding and became overnight sensations and local legends. With empty pools as their canvas, the Z-Boys paved the way to what is now referred to as "extreme sports," and created a lifestyle that spread infectiously to become a worldwide counterculture phenomenon. But all of this fame would take its toll on the friendships that they thought would last a lifetime as the sport that started out as an afternoon hobby turned into big business.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Lords of Dogtown is as beautifully structured as one of the Z-Boys' graceful and intricate maneuvers."
-
"Superficial and disconcertingly conventional."
-
"It's hard to think of a movie since 1950's Sunset Boulevard that has gotten more dramatic impact out of a pool."
-
"Unlike the documentary, the movie is reluctant to delve too deeply into the darker side of its protagonists."
-
"Lords of Dogtown is a fictional feature that tries hard to mimic the sun-baked realism of the documentary that inspired it. But mimic is all it does."
