SYNOPSIS

A young album-painter learns a lesson about daring to dream when he is kissed by a magical muse. Throwing caution to the wind, he partners up with a wealthy former jazz musician to start-up a roller disco nightclub, but finds that one of his dreams might be too lofty–even for the powers that be. XANADU is a 1980s fantasy that meets a 1940s Hollywood heyday musical featuring the musical talents of Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly, with the Electric Light Orchestra, the Tubes, and Cliff Richard, plus a touch of cartoon magic from animator Don Bluth.
