About

You can stream La Bamba (1987) on Netflix with a subscription, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.

Los Angeles teenager Ritchie Valens becomes an overnight rock 'n' roll success in 1958, thanks to a love ballad called "Donna" that he wrote for his girlfriend. But as his star rises, Valens has conflicts with his jealous brother, Bob, and becomes haunted by a recurring nightmare of a plane crash just as he begins his first national tour alongside Buddy Holly.

Can a kid from East L.A. outrun the shadow of a recurring plane crash nightmare to become a global rock icon? This biopic captures the frantic energy of 1950s rhythm and blues through the eyes of a rising legend fighting for his family's respect.
