Graduation is a coming-of-age film starring Chris Marquette and Riley Smith, released in May 2008. It was made in collaboration with the producers of The Virgin Suicides and Seabiscuit. The movie was shot in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania in 2005.
A group of high school friends—Carl (Chris Marquette), Polly (Shannon Lucio), Chauncey (Riley Smith) and Jackson (Chris Lowell)—are about to graduate. Polly and Chauncey are dating, Carl needs a date to prom and Jackson doesn't seem to know what to do with his life. When Carl's mom becomes ill and needs $100,000 for surgery, Polly comes up with a plan: rob her dad's bank. The plan seems foolproof, and graduation is the perfect alibi; all the kids need to do is steal the keys to the bank's vault. However, things get complicated when Carl falls in love with a bank teller named Suzi and Polly cheats on Chauncey with Jackson. Through it all--including an unforeseen hostage crisis--the friends learn a lot about themselves.
