Tony Manero, a working‑class Brooklyn youth, seeks escape and identity on the Saturday night disco scene. He rules the dance floor with a swaggering white‑suit style, pursues romance with Stephanie, and grapples with family pressure, gang codes, and a yearning for something more. Set to a pulsating 1970s soundtrack, the film blends gritty urban life with exuberant dance to explore ambition, pride, and the costs of chasing fame.
