The Rocker is a 2008 American comedy directed by Peter Cattaneo, starring Rainn Wilson, Josh Gad, Teddy Geiger, Emma Stone, Christina Applegate and Jason Sudeikis. The film was written by Maya Forbes & Wallace Wolodarsky, from a story by Ryan Jaffe.
During the mid-80s, Robert "Fish" Fishman (Rainn Wilson) was the drummer for Vesuvius, a local heavy metal/glam metal band from Cleveland, Ohio. After playing a local gig, Fish's bandmates are approached by their manager, who says that a label is interested in them but will not sign them unless they get rid of Fish, replacing him as drummer with the nephew of the label's president. The band initially refuses to fire Fish, but relent after their manager tells them that they will open for Whitesnake if they sign to the label. Fish curses his bandmates for backstabbing him and vows to start another band that will be more famous than Vesuvius. Twenty years later, Fish leads an unhappy life by failing at another cubicle job, breaking up with his girlfriend, and having to move in with his sister, her husband, and two kids. Fish finds himself living in the attic looking for work, and is further frustrated by Vesuvius's success as a band.

Plot: Albi, Franz and Tayfun ease through their small-town days, content to work at the garage, pick up girls and ride a bike. A little bit of freedom. When the new boss throws them out, they have to resort to new means to pay for the drinks, cigarettes and beloved motorcycles: betting, racing, crash-driving, car theft. But the tougher the going gets, the more they stick together.
