## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Five years after disco’s decline, Tony Manero trades the Brooklyn streets for Broadway’s glare. A dancer with star power but no discipline gets one shot at a chorus line spot. The sequel pivots from dance floors to leg warmers, but the moves stay perilously familiar.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, uplifting
