I have seen this movie and I can assure you....it is not good. Fun fact! [Per Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staying%5FAlive%5F%281983%5Ffilm%29?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), it is "the oldest film to hold a score of 0% on Rotten Tomatoes." ([Roger Ebert's contemporaneous review is scathing and brilliant](https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/staying-alive-1983?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).) Please direct your attention to Google's description:

> Six years after his glittering triumph in the disco dance contest of "Saturday Night Fever," an older and wiser Tony Manero (John Travolta) works as a serious dance teacher in New York City and dreams of making it on Broadway. Manero gets his shot when his girlfriend, Jackie (Cynthia Rhodes), gets him an audition for a daring new show called "Satan's Alley." Manero lands a part as a backup dancer and falls back into old habits as he lusts after Broadway bad girl Laura (Finola Hughes).

But I have also seen the photos from the premiere in this slideshow and I can assure you that they bring you HUGE 80S HAIR and at least one formal bra top. Weirdly, I do not have any shots of Travolta himself at the premiere, but he *was* in attendance.
