Giovani semiproletari italoamericani di Brooklyn vivono in funzione del sabato sera per ballare in discoteca la disco-music. Al di là del ponte c'è Manhattan, la terra promessa. Tony Manero, uno di loro, fa coppia con un'impiegata con cui vince una gara di ballo, ma rilutta a un impegno affettivo più profondo. Amaro dramma realistico travestito da commedia musicale? Forse. In ogni modo il diffuso malessere di una gioventù senza ideali né prospettive (se non quella del ballo come trampolino di lancio e di evasione) è raccontato con una certa sincerità. All'attivo del regista c'è la sagacia con cui ha saputo esprimere l'erotismo di Travolta. Coreografia di Lester Wilson, musiche dei Bee Gees. Stallone diresse il fiacco seguito Staying Alive.

A short documentary about the Disco legend Sylvester. Sylvester James began as a child gospel singer and sashayed past barriers of race and sexual identity to become the definitive anthemist of disco and dance soul. With a vibrant falsetto and genderbending persona, he redefined what it means - on stage and in life - to be "mighty real." This documentary will restore to the spotlight a pivotal performer whose music defined an era and whose influence is still felt by dozens of current vocalists.
