1. Over the Edge

   Over the Edge is a coming-of-age drama film directed by Jonathan Kaplan released in 1979. Due to the negative publicity surrounding a wave of recent youth gang films such as The Warriors, Boulevard Nights and The Wanderers, Over the Edge had a limited theatrical release in November 1979. It stars 14-year-old Matt Dillon in his feature film debut. Depicting suburban life in the late 1970s and including themes of teenage rebellion and drug and alcohol use by junior high school students, and a rock music soundtrack featuring such bands as Cheap Trick, the Cars, and the Ramones, Over the Edge has achieved cult film status, and was an inspiration for the music video for the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. According to the director's and writer's commentary on the DVD, Over the Edge was inspired by actual events that took place in Foster City, California in the early 1970s. Those events were chronicled in a November 11, 1973 article titled "Mousepacks: Kids on a Crime Spree" from the San Francisco Examiner. It is a pervasive internet myth that the writer of the article was Charles S. Haas, who co-wrote the screenplay, but at a 2010 screening Haas confirmed that the original article was written not by him, but by James A. Finefrock and Bruce Koon, two staff reporters for the Examiner.

Examples of over the edge in a Sentence

1. Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer:

   He prevented the crash last night. He was headed… over the edge, because his party was deserting him, all those defections, the governors and senators and members of Congress.

It was when Barry Goldwater and the delegation from the Congress went to Nixon and said, 'It's over, you've got to resign.' And the next day, he announced his resignation.
