Saturday Night Fever
Young Brooklynite Tony Manero seeks respect and a way out of his working‑class grind by dominating the Saturday night dance floor, but his soaring club fame collides with family pressures, street rivalries, and a forbidden romance that could shatter his fragile escape.
“Where do you go when the record is over...”
Synopsis
Tony spends his Saturdays at a disco, where his stylish dance moves earn him popularity among the patrons. However, his life outside the club is difficult. His world changes when he becomes attracted to Stephanie.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 38
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 68× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
