The Heavenly Kid is a 1985 American romantic comedy fantasy film directed by Cary Medoway and starring Lewis Smith, Jason Gedrick, Jane Kaczmarek and Richard Mulligan.

[2][3][4][5] In the late 1960s, young greaser-type rebel Bobby Fontana, challenges Joe Barnes to a game of chicken for making a pass at his girlfriend Emily.

Bobby awakens to find himself aboard a speeding train, which stops at a station housing a huge escalator going up into a bright white light, which one of the attendants refers to as "Uptown".

He is denied entry, and Rafferty appears and explains that he is not yet considered ready and needs to carry out an "assignment" in order to earn his ticket Uptown.

After bidding an emotional goodbye to Lenny, during which he tells him that they will always be best friends, Bobby offers himself to Rafferty to fulfill his end of the bargain by accepting a ride "Downtown" (essentially, to Hell).
