Quote: "Tell me about it, stud."

Set in the late 50s, when grease and poodle skirts were in, on the Beach during summer, there lays the beautiful romance of Australian Sandy Olson (Olivia Newton-John) and Danny Zucko (John Travolta). But when its time to go back to school, the very different cliches they belong to, Sandy being too "goodie-two-shoes" and Danny being the campus "cool guy", tears them apart. But they realize that their love shouldn't be torn apart by what people think. Could one of them change? The story could only be told by the funky, bubbly 1978 teenage musical classic.
