Footloose tells the story of Ren McCormack, a teenager from Chicago who moves to a small town where dancing and rock music have been banned. Ren faces resistance from the conservative town leaders, including Reverend Shaw Moore. Determined to bring joy back to the community, Ren rallies his peers to fight for their right to dance. Along the way, he falls in love with Ariel, the rebellious daughter of the reverend. Footloose is a celebration of self-expression and the power of youth.
