Plot summary (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

Mark Hunter (Slater), a high school student in a sleepy Arizona suburb, starts a VHF pirate radio station which broadcasts from his bedroom transmitter in the basement of his parent's house. Mark is a loner, an outsider, whose only outlet for his teenage angst and aggression is his unauthorized radio station. His pirate station's theme song is "Everybody Knows" by Leonard Cohen. By day, Mark is seen as a loner, hardly talking to anyone around him; by night, he expresses his outsider views about what is wrong with American society. When he speaks his mind about what is going on at his school and in the community, more and more of his fellow students tune in to hear his show. Nobody knows the true identity of "Hard Harry" or "Happy Harry Hard-on," as Mark refers to himself, until Nora Diniro (Mathis), a fellow student, tracks him down. The radio show becomes increasingly popular and influential; one student, an overachiever, jams her various medals and accolades into a microwave, which explodes, injuring her, and another student commits suicide after Harry attempts to reason with him. Eventually, the radio show causes so much trouble in the community that the FCC is called in to investigate. During the fracas, it is revealed that the school's principal (Annie Ross) has been expelling "problem students," such as an unwed mother, in an effort to boost the district's test scores.


Great movie about teenage rebellion!
