Synopsis:

Didier Travolta (Franck Dubosc) is a forty-years-old disco music fan who has no job, lives with his mom and has a kid he hasn't seen for a while. The mother of his son refuses to send him their son for the holidays unless he can offer him some real holidays, not just going in the bars of the city of Le Havre. As Didier has no job thus no money, the only way he can see his son is by winning a dance contest organised by a friend of his (Gérard Depardieu) where the winner gets a free trip to Australia for two persons. Not that easily, he convinces his two former dancing buddies (Samuel Le Bihan and Abbes Zahmani) to get the old local-famous "Bee Kings" group back on tracks. Years have passed, they need a dancing coach (Emmanuelle Béart) to get them ready to hit the floor again. And they soon find out that even if they once were the best, times have changed. Jobs, wives, love, ridiculous looks, old fashion clothes, talented contestents... Will they manage to make the Disco rise again?

A guy who used to be the king of the dance floor tries to regain his title thirty years after the fact in this French comedy. In the mid-Seventies, Didier (Franck Dubosc) was a disco dancer who made the rounds of all the hottest nightspots in Le Havre with his pals Walter (Samuel Le Bihan) and Neuneuil (Abbes Zahmani), who performed as a trio called the Bee Kings. But in 2007, no one is calling Didier by his nickname "Travolta" anymore; he's out of shape, out of work, living with his mother, and trying to raise enough money to visit his son, who lives in Australia with his mom. Jean-François (Gerard Depardieu), a longtime friend of Didier who runs a local night club, the Gin Fizz, is holding a Seventies dance contest, and the prize money would be enough to pay for a trip to Australia. Didier figures this is his best bet to get the cash to see his son, and persuades Walter and Neuneuil to reform the Bee Kings and show the youngsters how it's done. But the former disco dandies realize they're very much out of practice, and they take some refresher lessons with France (Emmanuelle Beart), who spends more time teaching ballet to ten-year-olds than hitting the clubs these days. Disco includes a score of classic disco hits, featuring the Jacksons, Gloria Gaynor, Cerrone and Tina Charles.
