Gleaming the Cube is an American movie released in 1989. It featured Christian Slater as a teenage skateboarder investigating the death of his adopted Vietnamese brother. Though set in contemporary Orange County, the movie includes story methods common to westerns and film noir.

Among the famous skateboarders who appear in the movie are Rodney Mullen, Tony Hawk, Stacy Peralta and his crew.

The film received only a moderate release in the United States from 20th Century Fox (in 469 theaters). Although the film had a relatively low box office turnout, Gleaming the Cube earned a lasting reputation among many teenage males around the film's release.
