Critical Reaction Despite being one of the highest-grossing films of 1983, critics and fans blasted the movie, saying it lacked the heart and interesting characters of Saturday Night Fever, basically ignoring the elements of what made that movie a hit. Not only did Staying Alive hardly compare to its acclaimed predecessor, but it was also considered to be a terrible movie in general. A dance sequence in the final act of the movie flummoxed audiences instead of captivating them. In 2006, Entertainment Weekly dubbed Staying Alive the "Worst Sequel Ever." Many believe that this movie was the cause of the downward spiral of John Travolta's career that took place in the 1980s-early 1990s. 1983 (MCMLXXXIII) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Plot summary Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. Tony Manero is six years older, and now is auditioning for Broadway. The movie has him having left Brooklyn and now living in Manhattan. He has little money and is staying in a flophouse while he tries to break into a major Broadway show as a dancer. The world of show business, however, is highly competitive, and the established performers resent this newcomer whom they see as an intruder trying to push them out of their positions. His mother (while having high hopes for her son) also disapproves of the racy nature of the dancing in the show, which she finds shocking. To top it off, the show is called "Satan's Alley." In the end, Manero's mother accepts his newfound career, while Manero learns the hard way that he has to keep his ego and his personal conflicts off the stage in order to make it in Broadway. Broadway theatre[1] is often considered the highest professional form of theatre in the United States. ...
