Studio 54 is an engrossing close-up look at an emblem of a decade's decadence -as well as its sobering aftermath. Studio 54 was the epicenter of 70s hedonism -- a place that not only redefined the nightclub, but also came to symbolize an entire era. Its co-owners, two friends from Brooklyn, seemed to come out of nowhere to suddenly preside over a new kind of New York society. Now, 39 years after the velvet rope was first slung across the club's hallowed threshold, this feature documentary tells the real story behind the greatest club of all time.
