Short summary

A young high school student is raped by a classmate. However, when word of the crime gets out, instead of condemning the rapist--a member of the school's championship football team--the other students jeer at and humiliate her, call her a "slut", accuse her of instigating the rape and pressure her to keep her mouth shut so the football team will still be able to play.

Tiffani Thiessen and Brian Austin Green were also lovers in Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990), as well as in real life.

The actor that plays Tiffani Thiessen's doctor who examined her after her rape is played by John Mansfield her father on Päästja koolikell (1989).

Isabella Hofmann who plays the mother of Tiffani Thiessen's character, also plays the mother of Brian Austin Green's on screen love interest in the movie Unwed Father (1997).

David Lipper rapes Tiffani Thiessen in this film. In She Cried No (1996), Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani's co-star and Päästja koolikell (1989) boyfriend rapes David's co-star and Full House (1987) girlfriend Candace Cameron Bure. This film takes place in high school while the latter film takes place in college.

Original title of this film was 'Scared by Love', a song which was featured in the film

    When I saw this movie, I was amazed that it was only a TV movie. I think this movie should have been in theaters. I have seen many movies that are about rape, but this one stands out. This movie has a kind of realism that is very rarely found in movies today, let alone TV movies. It tells a story that I'm sure is very realistic to many rape victims in small towns today, and I found it to be very believable(which is something hard to find in other rape centered movies). I also thought that Tiffani Theissen and Brian Austin Green were awesome in the parts that they played. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys movies that have a bit of a harsh reality to them. I enjoyed it very much.

    I enjoyed this movie,and after watching it,it made me wonder just how many 'Caitlin Rose's' exist in the world.How many other girls have been subjected to this sort of sexual abuse,and torment by classmates and have been too frightened to open their mouth about it? Just how threatening and cruel can teenagers be towards one another,because as this film demonstrates,who's right is not foremost important,its who is popular,and feared which manipulates the minds of youths,and influences them to allow this sort of immorality to happen.Tiffani Amber Thiessen gives a powerful performance as the rape victim,and Brian Austin Green is convincing as the guy torn between the girl he thought he loved,and his best friend.This is the kind of film that doesn't get the exposure it deserves.Remarkable,and brilliant,too good to be just a film made for TV.

    I really like this film... when I started to watch it I thought I would get bored pretty soon, but it surprised me... I thought it was a great film and have seen it a few times now. The characters are believable and I have to say that I fell in love with Brian Austin Green all over again (the first time being Beverly Hills 90210). I would recommend this film if you are a fan of his, but I do agree with another comment made earlier, that the ending is sort of disappointing. I would have loved it to turn out a little different! Never mind though, good gripping story.

    She Fought Alone is a rarity of a made for TV teen movie that's really good. It stars two of my favorite actors from 90210 Brain A.Green and Tiffani Amber Thissen in roles very different from David and Valerie. I actually felt the pain Tiffani chacracter went through.

    I first saw this when it premiered more than ten years ago. I saw it again today and it still had a big impact on me. She Fought Alone is about a girl, Caitlin (played by Tiffani Thiessen), who is raped by Jace (played by David Lipper), a classmate who enjoys hurting girls. Caitlin is in a popular high school clique, but when she reveals she is raped the clique turns against her, led by Ethan (played by Brian Austin Green).

    This movie chronicles Caitlin's struggle against an entire town, including a high school that essentially lets athletes determine the social environment, allowing them to get away with whatever they wish.

    Thiessen and Green are the top performers, and there is real chemistry between the two of the them throughout the entire film. All of the actors in this film, which was inspired by actual events, did a great job. She Fought Alone really captures the essence of what it is like to be in high school (at least in 1995), and having one's self-esteem and reputation at stake. Recommended. 10/10

    She Fought Alone was a great movie! It's a stroy about Caitlin Rose (Thiessan) who so badly wanted to be popular and join the popular crew at school. When she hooks up with the leader of The Crew, the football team, Ethan (Austin Green), things take a turn for the worst. Caitlin believes that Ethan likes her, but is mistaken.

    Another boy, Jace (Lipper), likes Caitlin a lot. He shows up at her house one night to 'talk.' She lets him in but only soon to realize that this was a mistake. Jace proceeds to rape Caitlin.

    The next day, Caitlin doesn't go to school, but she is fairly messed up. When she does go back to school, there are rumors and things written all over the school. The rest of the movie is about her fight to beat the jerk who raped her. Ethan and the crew actually do some failry mean stuff to her too, but then Ethan realizes that he may like Caitlin more than he thought...

    The movie ends well and all. The movie has a great deal of realism because things like this movie happen all the time. Hope you enjoy the flick!!!

    She Fought Alone is a true story starring the cool Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Brian Austin Green. Thiessen plays Caitlin, a young girl who just has been raped. When she tells people what has happened, no one believes her and they just end up treating her like dirt. One guy does help her though, Ethan played by Green.

    I thought the movie was very believable and the cast including Thiessen, Green and Isabella Hofmann who plays Avon Rose all give great performances. The true story movies are all really good and they're always very interesting, including this one.

    Caitlin Rose (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen) will do anything to be part of the 'Crew' the most popular group at school. When asked to join shes ecstatic because now she can get close to the 'Crew's' leader Ethan (Brian Austin Green). Her dreams are shattered when she is raped by another group member, and when she reports it no-one at school believes her even the town thinks of her as the local 'slut'. When even her mother's efforts to clear her name and restore her dignity are in vain, Caitlin takes a gamble and turns to Ethan. Will he stay with the 'Crew' or help the girl he loves?

    this story is quite sad, it centres around Caitlin Rose (Tiffani Amber Thiessen), a high school student who is desperate to get into 'the crew' a group of popular kids at school, her friends are already in this group, along with the guy she has the most momentos crush on, Ethan (Brian Austin Green. they surprise her with a fake prom, and Jase is supposed to break her in, though Ethan beats him to it, which as you can probably guess Caitlin has no complaints about, though because of this Jase gets jealous and his actions bring Caitlins newly found world down around her. she is subjected to hateful bullying including cutting her hair off, nasty mentions on the toilet walls and the front of the school. this story outlines how Caitlin manages to stand up to everyone in the town she lives. This film is one that you will laugh at, cry at and show most emotions, a definite 10 out of 10

    happy viewing

    This movie starring Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Brian Austin Greene is a bit cheesy, but good. It's a typical made-for-tv movie, so one shouldn't watch it expecting award-winning performances. However, the story that the movie tells is a good one. The plot is well thought out, and this movie DOES have it's suspense moments. You end up feeling a longing for the characters to get what they deserve. Watch it if it's on during a rainy weekend when nothing else is on. You probably wouldn't watch it otherwise, but you'll end up loving it after you watch it!

    Caitlin lives in a small town, your typical American Dream type of place where everyone knows everyone and The Crew (football team and most popular girls in school) can have fun and goof around any time they want. Caitlin was conceived in Wedlock and is a high school teen living with her little sister and single mom, and desperate to be one of the crowd, she never speaks against the football team... but when Jace, one of the football players, rapes her at home, Caitlin finds nobody on her side, not even her own mom, until finally her mom believes her daughter. With the help of a strict but concerned older teacher and a top-of-the-line lawyer, Caitlin and her mom try to stand up for her reputation in a town where no one will listen.

    I really found myself looking at my own town when I watched this; in Canadian military small towns, the hockey guys can get away with nearly anything; rape and even worse actions are often swept under the rug and it starts even as early as junior high school. I hate sports myself, I think it's a waste of time and money and an excuse for morons to coast through life as if they own the world. Watching this movie, it seems that my town isn't the only one in North America where "boys will be boys." Tiffani Thiessen was amazing in this movie; playing the role of a teenager who was sexually assaulted would be a very difficult role to throw yourself into but just as good was Isabella Hofmann, who played Avon Rose (Caitlin's mom). The soundtrack wasn't bad and the plot raises awareness of an issue often just covered up.

    my name is Heather and i am the girl whose story this movie was based on. I want to thank all of you who saw this movie and enjoyed it. as crude and harsh as some of the things that were depicted in this movie were, it didn't really even come close to describing how bad things actually were. not to mention the affect everything had on my mother and little sister. thanks once again for the great comments that everyone had,i truly appreciate them

    Hi everyone!

    This is Heather's mom. It's hard to believe that so many years have gone by since this movie was made. Harder even to believe that people were still watching it a year ago. For any of you out there who have gone thru the same or similar kind of situation, please know that there are people out here in cyberspace that do understand completely how you feel. Our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you.

    Excellent story about teenagers, leaders, high school football "stars". How far will you go to protect your friends? Lie, kill? How much can You lose if you stud by an innocent girl? Can love beat the odds? Can you defeat narrow-minded small town people? When your friend scores and you "lose", will you do everything in your power to make her pay for it, or will you be a man about it, and respect her right to chose? Will you rape her and show it as your victory over a "problem" girl? Can you stand by the one who's only sin is to have an opinion of her own, to be able to make her own decisions, to chose for herself? It made me think twice before giving my judgment about who was right and who was wrong, but one is for sure - very disturbing movie and theme in general. Thumb up!

    The movie is basically centered around this girl, Caitlin, and her struggle for justice. Many obstacles stand in her way, the most important and dangerous obstacle being a group of kids called The Crew. The boy who raped her, Jase, is a member of this elite group and denies it completely, dubbing Caitlin as a slut. A relationship soon developps between her and her 90210 co-star, Brian Austin Greene, which helps her keep hope and fight back. A fantastic movie which I would watch every day if it were possible. If you can find this one, watch it.

    Caitlin Rose (Tiffani-Amber Thiessen) attends a private prom party with the popular jocks known as The Crew that includes a fun Carrie prank. After rejecting Jace, she hooks up with Ethan (Brian Austin Green). Jace is unrelenting and engineers Caitlin catching Ethan with another girl. Despite many rejections, Jace talks Caitlin to let him into her home. He rapes her while her mother (Isabella Hofmann) is away. Her little sister Junie hears the rape. Her friends don't believe her and everybody starts bullying her in favor of the football jock.

    This is a teen rape network TV movie. It's surprisingly effective. I attribute that mostly on Thiessen. She has a very compelling persona and her character has a harrowing story. Brian Austin Green is also quite effective. It's more compelling than most in this genre.

    a girl (Tiffany Amber Thiessen) gets raped and she tells but no one believes her and they treat her crappy they call her names and make fun of her, even her best friend does. But one guy likes her and tries to help her and in the end everyone including her ex best friend gets what they deserve and she gets out of that town. and whats worse then your own mother not supporting you??

    This was a great movie but it had the worst ending I think I have ever seen!!! The actors were great and displayed wonderful talent. The entire story was twisted and unexpecting, which, is what made it entertaining. As good as the movie was, the entire film is judged by the ending, which was terrible! Maybe a sequel could eliminate this bad ending.

    I have seen this movie 3 times, and I have no idea why. Don't get me wrong--the first time was great, but after that, well there is a reason why you can't rent this movie. Thiessen--in better roles than the current ones she's been in--plays the older looking teen(the classic tv movie sitch)who gets raped by her "boyfriends" friend who lusts after her, and the whole town then turns against her b/c the two guys are star athletes.

    I would have liked this movie had there not been 20 others like it. 7/10 for acting, 1/10 for originality. See it when its on, if you're bored.

    *Spoiler warning*

    First of all I rated this movie 2 out of 10.

    The idea is good, but there are too many stupid errors in the movie, failing to make it the psyching drama that it might have been. First of all she never fights alone. After an initial very strange doubt from her mother (which is not believable when the mother proves to be so supportive and loving later in the movie) the rape victim is not alone.

    She is also unbelievably naive always falling into the Crew's strange traps.

    Her friends are unbelievably nasty.

    The thing that I find most unbelievably is that Ethan fails to control the crew when he changes his opinon. Ethan is very much the leader of the Crew (hey, they even say so) and people seem to think the other guy is a jerk, but when Ethan changes his opinion he just doesn't manage to convince even one single person in the Crew that he is right and that his former friend is wrong. Everyone just simply hates him... why?? The movie provides no explanation. How did he ever become the leader?

    A funny note is that my girlfriend thought I was watching Beverly Hills when she came in. Two actors from the same successful TV-series.... a cheap way to get viewers?
