Tony Manero lives a risky life for Saturday nights at the local disco, where his dance creations make him the king of the club. Outside of it, however, his life isn’t so rosy. At home, Tony is constantly fighting with his father and his brother. Even his job at the paint shop doesn’t bring him satisfaction. But everything changes when he spots Stephanie Mangan at a disco and starts training with her for a dance competition. Stephanie dreams of a world beyond Brooklyn, and her plans to move across the bridge to Manhattan change Tony’s life forever.
