When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school.  What he isn’t prepared for are the rigorous local laws, including a ban on dancing.  The ban is the brainchild of a preacher determined to exercise the control over the town youth that he cannot command in his own home.  When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid.  The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

With the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar-nominated top-40 score (the soundtrack album reached number 1 on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies!) to which new, dynamic songs have been added, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.
