Biography[]

Christine is a 1958, four-door, red Plymouth Fury that a high school dork named Arnie Cunningham purchases from George LeBay for $250 in 1978. It is a fancy car, with white brimmed tires, double headlights, and white trimmed rims, but it is also wrecked, and is in need of serious repair.

Dennis, Arnie's jock friend, does not like Christine, and advises him against purchasing it for a first car. But, Arnie buys it anyway, much to the dismay of his parents, and they get into a heated debate. Arnie stores it at Darnell's, a do-it-yourself garage and junkyard located outside of town. The ill-tempered owner, Will Darnell, distrusts both Arnie and Dennis, and is mean to them. Arnie fixes up Christine over time, and the car becomes his obsession. He starts driving it everywhere, and even gets Leigh Cabot to be his girlfriend, much to the dismay of Dennis. Arnie becomes humorless and arrogant, but also assertive and cruel.

Christine is destroyed by Buddy Repperton and his gang, who want revenge for Buddy being expelled because Arnie told a teacher that Buddy threatened him with a switchblade. After Christine's destruction, Arnie angrily blames Leigh for it, and fights verbally and even physically with his parents. Arnie frantically attempts to fix the car again, but the car rebuilds itself in front of him, in a manner similar to a striptease.

Christine goes after Repperton's gang, killing them all one by one, all the while playing ironic oldies music, starting with Moochie Welch. Each time Christine commits a murder, she restores herself so there is no evidence of what she has done. At the end, Repperton himself is killed when Christine smashes through a gas station and blows it up, killing Richie Trelawney by crushing him against Buddy's Camaro and Don Vandenberg in the explosion that Christine starts. Then Christine chases Buddy while on fire and drives over him, leaving his flaming body in the middle of the country road. Christine pulls into Darnell's, and Darnell is suspicious. He grabs a double-barreled shotgun

and goes inside Christine, who crushes him with the seat.

Finally, Dennis decides to stop her and carves "Darnell's Tonight" into her hood and faces Christine and Arnie with a bulldozer. Arnie is killed with a shard of glass in the battle, but Christine is smashed and crushed into a cube and what remains of Christine is dropped into a junkyard. However, a piece of Christine's grill slowly starts to bend like a grin, indicating that Christine is still alive, prepared to rebuild herself and go after Dennis and Leigh later.
