Pee Wee's Big Adventure

Directed by Tim Burton, 1985
PG; 90 minutes

Pee-wee's bicycle, the keenest bike in the world, is missing. It's his most prized possession, and he's just got to get it back! Searching high, low and in between, Pee-wee hits the open road, leading to riotous adventures with bikers, bums, cowboys, fugitives, a phantom trucker, a waitress with wanderlust. On his quest, he visits the Alamo, a roadside dinosaur statue, and even finds his way into the Warner Bros. Studios lot.
