Nineteen-year-old Tony Manero lives for Saturday nights at
the local disco, where he's king of the dance floor. But outside
of the club, things don't look so rosy. At home, he fights
constantly with his father and has to compete with his family's
starry-eyed view of his older brother, a priest. Then, he meets
Stephanie at the disco and they agree to dance together in a
competition. Stephanie resists Tony's attempts to romance her,
as she aspires to greater things; she is moving across the river
to Manhattan. Gradually, Tony also becomes disillusioned with
the life he is leading and he and Stephanie decide to help one
another to start afresh
