Saturday Night Fever

Drama119 min

By day, Tony Manero is a Brooklyn paint store clerk; on Saturday nights, John Travolta is the local disco star, drawing a crowd with his white suit and polished moves. Under the lights, Tony has status. Away from the dance floor, he’s stuck in a working-class neighborhood, pulled between family strain, his friends, and a future that feels narrow. Things shift when he becomes drawn to Karen Lynn Gorney’s Stephanie, a connection that starts to change how he sees life beyond the club. The film is rooted in late-1970s Brooklyn and the pulse of disco.
