Rod Lane, played by Nick Corri, is a character in the 1984 film A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Rod, a Springwood High School student and Tina Gray's boyfriend, has a criminal record for drugs and violence. Like Tina, Nancy Thompson and Glen Lantz, Rod has nightmares but refuses to accept them as meaningful; he is also unaware that his and his friends' parents participated in the murder of Freddy Krueger years earlier.
After Rod sleeps with Tina, she is murdered in a dream by Freddy and apparently killed by an invisible attacker while Rod watched. Rod is arrested on suspicion of murder, and no one believes his pleas of innocence because of his past. He tells Nancy (who visits him in jail) about his Freddy Krueger nightmares, leading her to the conclusion that a supernatural entity is haunting their street. Freddy kills him in his dreams; in the real world, it appears as if he committed suicide by hanging himself with bedsheets.
Corri made a cameo appearance as a fictitious version of himself in Wes Craven's New Nightmare. According to story outlines for an unfinished issue of the prequel comic, A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Beginning, Freddy drives Rod's father insane with nightmares, causing him to beat his wife in front of Rod and eventually commit suicide.
