Plot summary

The events of the film take place within a single day. Empire Records, an independently owned record shop, is about to be sold to the Music Town corporation by its owner to become another run-of-the-mill chain store. A corporation is a separate legal entity usually used to conduct business Lucas (played by Rory Cochrane) attempts to save the day by taking a gamble with the store's sales proceeds, but ends up making things worse when he loses it all. Rory Cochrane (born February 28 1972 is an American Actor. He is known as playing Ron Slater in Dazed and Confused, Lucas in Empire Rex Manning (Maxwell Caulfield), an arrogant (and washed-up) singer, shows up for an in-store promotional appearance that day, and a local teenager (Brendan Sexton III) attempts to steal merchandise. Maxwell Caulfield (born November 23, 1959) is a Scottish Actor known for his roles in film television and on stage Brendan Eugene Sexton III (born February 21, 1980) is an American Actor. The employees, who see Empire as a second home and their coworkers as something of a second family, are also experiencing difficulties in their personal lives and relationships with one another. Upon learning of the store's looming fate, the employees and their boss, Joe Reaves (Anthony LaPaglia), band together to save it.

Reaction and cult status

Something of a slice-of-life teen comedy-drama, the film did poorly at the box office and received generally poor reviews, but attracted and has maintained a devoted cult following since its release, mainly among young adults who first saw the film as adolescents. A slice of life story is a category for a story that portrays a "cut-out" sequence of events in a character's life Comedy-drama, also called dramedy and dramatic-comedy, is a style of Television and movies in which there is an equal or nearly equal balance Numerous web shrines have been created in the film's honor, and a special edit was released on DVD in 2003, after many years of petitioning from fans wanting the deleted scenes to be made available.
