Description: The Rocky Horror Picture Show, released in 1975, is a cult classic film that blends science fiction, horror, and musical elements. The story begins with Brad Majors and Janet Weiss, a newly engaged couple, who find themselves stranded on a cold, rainy night in November 1974 after their car gets a flat tire. In search of help, they stumble upon a nearby castle where an Annual Transylvanian Convention is taking place. There, they meet Riff Raff, Magenta, and Columbia, who introduce them to Dr. Frank-N-Furter, a flamboyant and eccentric mad scientist.
Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation, Rocky, a muscular and handsome man he brought to life in his lab. Claiming to have discovered the “secret to life itself,” Frank vows to perfect Rocky within a week. The plot thickens when Eddie, a delivery boy whose brain was used in Rocky’s creation, bursts into the scene, only to be killed by a jealous Frank.
As the night progresses, Brad and Janet are seduced by Frank, who disguises himself as each of them to manipulate their emotions. Janet, distraught after losing her virginity to Frank, discovers Rocky hiding in his tank, tormented by Riff Raff and Magenta. The film is a wild, unconventional journey filled with music, humor, and bizarre twists, cementing its place as a unique cinematic experience.
