Overview
Synopsis
It’s the 1970s and disco fever is rampant in the discos of Brooklyn. Tony Manero, a store clerk by day, lives for the weekends and spends all his free time rehearsing new routines to perform at his local club, 2001. There, he and his gang of friends - the Faces - can escape the social tensions and disillusionment of their everyday lives. Tony’s eye is soon caught by Stephanie, a new, mesmerizing dancer who is desperate to escape Brooklyn and make a life for herself in Manhattan. Despite her initial hostility, the couple agree to enter a dance competition and their professionalism soon turns to attraction. When the Faces are hit by tragedy, Tony is forced to reflect on what is important in his life. Based on the beloved movie of the same name, Saturday Night Fever showcases the classic disco hits of the Bee Gees.
