What happens

Staying Alive is a 1983 American dance drama film and the sequel to Saturday Night Fever (1977). It was directed by Sylvester Stallone, produced by Stallone and the Saturday Night Fever producer Robert Stigwood, and written by Stallone and Norman Wexler. It stars John Travolta, reprising his Saturday Night Fever role as Tony Manero, with Cynthia Rhodes, Finola Hughes, Joyce Hyser, Julie Bovasso, Viktor Manoel and Kevyn Morrow. The title comes from the Bee Gees song of the same name, which was used as the theme song to Saturday Night Fever and is played during the final scene of Staying Alive. Theatrically released on July 15, 1983, Staying Alive received negative reviews. It earned $127 million worldwide on a $22 million budget.
