Last Days of Disco loosely depicts the "last days" at a disco palace, where drugs, sex and weirdness ran rampant. The story centers around a group of friends who frequent the disco and each other. All the characters are searching for something to make their lives more fulfilling. Some are searching for everlasting love and some are just wanting something different. As the disco is closed, they all wonder can disco ever really be dead?

Anachronisms:
Several of the main characters call themselves "yuppies," and one reports seeing graffiti reading "Die, Yuppie Scum!" even though the film was probably set in 1980-81. While the first known use of the word "yuppie" was in 1980, it did not gain common use, let alone negative connotations, until 1983.
