Once a year for over five decades, prom mania grips the entire population of Racine, Wisconsin. Prom-goers from seven city high schools converge on one citywide prom to make red carpet entrances bombarded by the flash of cameras and screams from bleachers filled to capacity. Across the city, residents keep their eyes glued to the live television coverage of the spectacular event. If the Academy Awards were moved to the heartland, this is what it would resemble.
THE WORLDS BEST PROM presents an all-access pass to this extraordinary event, documenting its history and the social significance it has to the community. The candid and remarkable stories of three teenagers from completely different backgrounds chronicle the emotionally charged days and nights leading up to their unbelievable prom night, while providing insight to a pivotal time in a teenagers life as they inch closer to adulthood and face making decisions that will effect the rest of their lives.
This celebratory film is for anyone who has ever wished they could relive prom night.

THE WORLD'S BEST PROM could not have been made without the fiscal support of Susan Sarandon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Maya Rudolph and many others.
"Prom captures their adolescent insight with wit and compassion. In cheddar's heartland, you might expect this full-on embrace of cheese, but you'll be surprised to find yourself cheering along." ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"I love THE WORLD'S BEST PROM!" Susan Sarandon
"Hilarious and poignant. Any town that would turn its prom into a televised red carpet event has either got something really right about it or something really wrong. The fact that I still can't decide made me love this film all the more. A smart and funny look at adolescence and its ultimate ritual." Bob Fisher, Screenwriter of WEDDING CRASHERS
"It's like your senior prom, plus the Super Bowl plus the Oscars all in one. Every town should have 'The World's Best Prom.' You will LOVE this movie. If you don't then you are lying." Maya Rudolph, SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
"Taking the prom a lot further than even John Hughes could have envisioned." Gigi Stone, ABC NEWS NOW
"The epicenter of prom genius." Ira Glass, THIS AMERICAN LIFE
