Summary:
Saturday Night Fever: Tony is an undereducated Brooklyn teenager who is bored with his daytime job. The highlight of his week is going to the local disco, where he is the king of the dance floor. Tony 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. Gradually, Tony also becomes disillusioned with the life he is leading and he and Stephanie decide to help one another to start afresh. Staying Alive: Five years later and Tony Manero's Saturday night fever is still burning. Now he's strutting toward his biggest challenge yet - making it as a dancer on the Broadway stage.
