  • the cast

Synopsis:

“Footloose” jumps with spirit, dazzling dance numbers and an electrifying musical score.

It portrays the timeless struggle between innocent pleasure and rigid morality, when city-boy Ren McCormick (Kevin Bacon) finds himself in an uptight Midwestern town, where dancing – and therefore all youthful joy – has been banned. Ren revolts with best friend Willard (Chris Penn) and the minister’s daughter (Lori Singer).
