Footloose (1984)
"Io vado contro tutta la città e non solo contro tuo padre!". E' la frase-madre del film, gridata dal giovane Ren verso la giovanissima Ariel. Lui è appena giunto nella cittadina di Bomont. Per ragioni familiari ha lasciato Chicago, dove si scatenava con gli amici abbandonandosi alle acrobazie del rock. A Bomont invece quella "sana" terapia giovanile, il rock, è messa al bando da una legge comunale, difesa ad oltranza dal pastore della Chiesa locale, che ha perduto suo figlio in un incidente stradale, dopo una serata trascorsa a ballare. Ariel, la figlia del pastore, si innamora a prima vista di Ren, questi, a sua volta, ce la mette tutta per far tornare nella legalità il ballo e la musica rock nel paese, dominato paternalisticamente dal repressivo padre di lei.
