Storyline
Nineteen-year-old Brooklyn native Tony Manero lives for Saturday nights at the local disco, where he's king of the club, thanks to his stylish moves on the dance floor. But outside of the club, things don't look so rosy. At home, Tony fights constantly with his father and has to compete with his family's starry-eyed view of his older brother, a priest. Nor can he find satisfaction at his dead-end job at a paint store. However, things begin to change when he spies Stephanie in the disco and starts training with her for the club's dance competition. Stephanie dreams of the world beyond Brooklyn, and her plans to move to the big city just over the bridge soon change Tony's life forever. Written by alfiehitchie

Trivia
In Tony (John Travolta)'s bedroom there's a poster for Rocky, a film directed by John G. Avildsen. The sequel to this film, Staying Alive, was written and directed by the star of "Rocky", Sylvester Stallone. In fact, Avildsen was the original director of this film but was fired by producer Robert Stigwood shortly before principal photography began due to "creative differences". John Badham was approached to fill in at the last minute. Tony also has a poster for Serpico on his wall. Avildsen was originally considered to direct that film as well, but left the project due to "creative differences." See more »Goofs
Continuity: While Tony and Stephanie are sitting at the windows in Stephanie's apartment, she reaches out and grasps Tony's left hand with her left hand; but when the camera jumps back, she's holding his left hand with her right hand. See more »Quotes
