Too Young to Die?

The made-for-TV drama TOO YOUNG TO DIE? presents a tragic story of manipulation and murder that touches on the hot topic debate over the death penalty. Juliette Lewis and Brad Pitt star, before they became huge Hollywood icons. Amanda (Lewis) is a 15 year-old girl who has lived a rough childhood. When her stepfather abuses her, Amanda's mother places the blame on her and kicks her out of their house. Desperate and ignorant, she takes up with immoral hustler Billy (Pitt), who hooks her on drugs and makes her a prostitute. She has one last chance with a kindly divorced man (Michael Tucker), who ultimately must distance himself from her because of his career. Enraged, Amanda and Billy embark on a drug-fueled murder spree. TOO YOUNG TO DIE? questions the justice of a system where a lost soul like Amanda can suffer such a tragic fate.
