The storyline:
High-school geek Arnie Cunningham falls in love with "Christine", a bright red 1958 Plymouth Fury which has seen much better days. Setting himself the task of restoring the car to its original condition, his friends notice that the car is not the only thing that is changing. Arnie seems to spend more and more time with his car. He's also developed a sort of cocky arrogance which does not seem like the real Arnie at all. The license plate of Christine reads begins with "CQB" which is an acronym for "Close Quarters Battle" so figure that whit the car always running over people.
Detroit, 1957, a red-and-white 1958 Plymouth fury is in an auto plant assembly line with some other Plymouth Fury cars. One worker is injured when the car's hood slams shut on his hand, and another is choked to death inside after dropping cigar ash on the seat.
20 years later in 1978, Arnold Cunningham is a nerdy teen with only one friend, a childhood companion and popular (jock) named Dennis Guilder. Arnie's life begins to change when he buys a used car (Christine) in serious need of repair. Arnie begins to restore Christine to her original beauty, but as he spends more and more of his time repairing her, those in his life notice that he is changing as well. Formerly shy, Arnie develops a cocky arrogance. Dennis, as well as Arnie's new girlfriend, Leigh Cabot, discover that the car has a deadly past. The previous owner, Roland LeBay, became obsessed with Christine and he paid for it with his life. Leigh and Dennis try to save Arnie from a similar fate. Christine, however, isn't ready to give up Arnie without a fight.
