Description:
Former disco king Tony Manero is six years older, and having left Brooklyn is now living in Manhattan staying in a flophouse while he works as a dance instructor and as a waiter at a dance club, looking for his big break in the modern dance productions on Broadway. Tony lands a role in the chorus of a new production called "Satan's Alley" starring wealthy English dancer Laura (Finola Hughes), whom he seduces only to find that he is the one who has been used.His girlfriend Jackie (Cynthia Rhodes), sick of being considered second best, finally leaves him, and he soon realizes how cruel he has been. Tony sees an opportunity to replace the lead male dancer and asking Jackie to help succeed, resulting in an intense dancing chemistry between Tony and Laura which climaxes on opening night. The film ends with Tony leaving the stage door in order to "strut" in celebration, reminiscent of the opening scene of Saturday Night Fever.
