Fandango

Fandango was originally a 30 minute black and white student film entitled "Montezuma's Revenge" by Kevin Reynolds while he was a student at the University of Texas. Steven Spielberg saw it and helped fund a feature length comedy/drama about five college students from Texas in 1971 who go on a 'last' roadtrip together, celebrating the "privilege of youth" as they face graduation, marriage, and the Draft for the Vietnam War. It was directed by Reynolds and stars Kevin Costner, Judd Nelson, and Sam Robards. The movie was released by Warner Bros. and Amblin Entertainment on January 25, 1985 and a DVD of the film was released on February 15, 2005.
