Swing Kids is a film produced in 1993, directed by Thomas Carter and starring Christian Bale, Robert Sean Leonard and Kenneth Branagh. The runtime is approximately 112 minutes. The film is considered as being part of the Lindy Hop revival of the 1980s and 1990s. The soundtrack includes a combination of swing music and the film's score. In pre-World War II Germany, swing music becomes the underground movement of young people. Two high school students, Peter Müller and Thomas Berger , attempt to be swing kids by night and Hitler Youth by day. The impact of this decision is felt acutely by... their friends and families. Soon dancing and fun lead to more difficult choices as the Nazis begin tightening their grip on Germany. A charming Gestapo officer, SS-Sturmbannführer Knopp , insinuates himself into their lives. Each member of the group is forced to face difficult choices about right, wrong and survival. This is the story of one group of Swing Kids, and how Nazi rule and persuasion tore them apart and set them against each other.
