Staying Alive

“Tony Manero knows the old days are over. But nobody's gonna tell him he can't feel that good again.”

Five years after Saturday Night Fever, Tony Manero (John Travolta) has left the Brooklyn dance floor behind and is chasing a part on a Broadway stage. He works as a dancer and teacher while he auditions, with Jackie (Cynthia Rhodes) beside him and the English dancer Laura (Finola Hughes) drawing his eye. Sylvester Stallone directs a story about wanting a place on that stage badly enough to keep showing up for it.
