The Stoned Age

The Stoned Age is a 1994 American stoner comedy film directed by James Melkonian, following two long-haired stoners who spend a night touring the suburbs of Los Angeles, looking for alcohol, parties, and young women.

The film is set in Torrance, California on a Saturday night in 1980.

An aggressive ex-convict known as "Crump's Brother" is picked up by a local teen while hitchhiking on the freeway and informs him about two women he intends to party with in Torrance Beach, across from the Frankie Avalon house. The teen then tells his friends about the women, one of whom, Tack, is motivated to go and find them.

Long-haired stoners Michael Hubbs and Joe Connolly drive around town looking for young women. They meet Tack, who tells them about the women and agrees to lead them to the location in exchange for a ride. They stop at the gas station and talk to their friend Crump, the gas station attendant, who tells them that the women are his brother's girlfriends. Joe and Hubbs lie to Crump that there is another party going so they can distract him and his brother from the women, in order to reach their location first. They leave Tack at the gas station and continue to Torrance Beach.

They arrive at the house and meet an extremely attractive young woman, Lanie, who sends them to a liquor store for alcohol. When they return, they meet the homeowner's daughter Jill, a jaded hippie who is Lanie's friend. Meanwhile, Tack convinces his nerdy friend Norm to take him to the beach. They arrive at the house and after a brief altercation, Tack convinces the group to go to a party in Palos Verdes, to Joe and Hubbs' irritation.

At the house party, Muldoon, the host, lets the women in but shuts everyone else out. Lanie leaves following an altercation with Muldoon and asks Joe to take her swimming in a neighbor's pool. The police shut down the party, and Hubbs and Jill locate Joe and Lanie next door. Lanie is impressed with Hubbs' aggressive behavior, and the two walk upstairs to have sex, angering Joe.

Having had their beer confiscated by police, Tack and some others rob a liquor warehouse for beer, and head to the house. Joe and Jill partially reconcile but return to find Tack and the Guzzlers converging on the home. A fight breaks out between Joe and Tack and Jill runs inside, eventually letting Joe back in and locking the door.

After getting stoned, Hubbs tells Joe he has arranged for Lanie to perform fellatio on him as a "birthday present". Joe finds Lanie asleep, covers her up, and walks out to find Hubbs and Jill making out on the couch; Joe is upset but learns that Jill was the instigator. They are interrupted when Crump's Brother arrives outside and begins to break down the door. They flee to the kitchen but shortly afterwards, they hear the commotion subsiding; Jill's father, Warren, has returned from a college reunion and beaten the entire crowd of kids—including Crump's Brother—unconscious. Hubbs manages to escape by jumping through a window on the upper floor, but Warren catches Joe and holds him captive awaiting the arrival of the police. Warren is very overbearing and emotionally abusive towards Jill, and eventually, Joe stands up for her and begins fighting with Warren. Joe and Hubbs escape just ahead of the police. Enamored with Joe, Jill gives him her full name and geographical location so he can find her later.
