(conocida en español como ¡Gran bola de fuego!) es una película biográfica estadounidense con Dennis Quaid interpretando al pionero del rock and roll, Jerry Lee Lewis. El filme, dirigido por Jim McBride, se basa en la biografía escrita por Myra Gale Brown. Trata de la temprana carrera musical de Jerry Lee Lewis desde su creciente fama como estrella del rock and roll, haciendo creer a muchos que reemplazaría al «rey del rock and roll», Elvis Presley en 1950 hasta el controversial matrimonio con su sobrina segunda, Myra Gale Brown (de 13 años), que hizo que su estrellato finalizara rápidamente. En 1990, Winona Ryder ganó el premio a la mejor actriz en los Premios Young Artist. En 1989, se estrenó el film Grand bola de fuego, que abarca los primeros años de la carrera musical de Jerry Lee Lewis,aproximadamente los años 1956-1959, incluyendo su frustrada gira por Inglaterra y su escándaloso matrimonio con Myra Gail Brown que opacó en gran medida el ascendente éxito que venía consechando hasta entonces. El film, fue protagonizado por Dannis Quaid en una excelente interpretación de Jerry Lee Lewis, Alec Balwin como el primo de Jerry, Jimmy Lee Swagart, su antagonista en el film, y el papel femenino de Myra Gail Brown quedó reservado para Wynona Rider. El principal mérito del film, ha sido que el propio Jerry se ocupó del audio de las canciones, lo cual permite al espectador que ve el film y no conoce su carrera, tener una precisa idea de su talento musical.

Great Balls of Fire! is a 1989 American biographical film directed by Jim McBride and starring Dennis Quaid as rockabilly pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis. Based on a biography by Myra Lewis and Murray M. Silver, Jr., the screenplay is written by McBride and Jack Baran. The film is produced by Adam Fields, with executive producers credited as Michael Grais, Mark Victor, and Art Levinson. The early career of Jerry Lee Lewis, from his rise to rock and roll stardom to his controversial marriage to his 13-year-old cousin that led to his downfall, is depicted in the film. Until the scandal of the marriage depreciated his image, many had thought Lewis would supplant Elvis Presley as the "King of Rock and Roll" in the 1950s. The story was co-written by Myra Gail Lewis (her autobiography Great Balls of Fire!), the former wife of Jerry Lee Lewis, with Murray Silver. Despite this, co-writer Silver was upset by the lack of accuracy in the film, claiming it was "phoney". Director Jim McBride admitted that it was never his intention to tie his film to the facts, and stated "This movie does not represent itself in any way to be a historical documentary. We use the book as a jumping-off point." Lewis has openly stated that he hates the film and the book it was based on. Lewis did, however, praise Quaid's portrayal of him in the film, saying "he really pulled it off".Quaid even learned to play "Lewis-style" piano for the role. This was the final film of character actor Trey Wilson. He died at age forty from a cerebral hemorrhage in January 1989, prior to the film's release. An original motion picture soundtrack was released by the producers on the Polydor Records label on June 8, 1989. Lewis re-recorded his music from the 1950s for the soundtrack with the title track " Great Balls of Fire," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "That Lucky Old Sun." The soundtrack contains 12 tracks. A music video of the song "Great Balls of Fire", with Quaid and Lewis playing the piano and containing snippets of scenes from the film, was featured on the original VHS video release preceding the film. "Lewis Boogie" is also in the film during the closing credits but does not appear on the soundtrack album.
